The
Texas Aggie and the
College Professor
Three aspiring psychiatrists from various colleges were attending their first class on emotional
extremes.
"Just to establish some
parameters," said the professor, to the student from the University of Texas,
"What is the opposite of joy?" "Sadness," said the student.
"And the opposite of depression?"
he asked of the young lady from Harvard. "Elation," said
she.
"And you sir," he said to the
young man from Texas A&M, "how about the opposite of woe?" The Aggie replied, "Sir, I believe that
would be giddy-up".
