JOTD:
10. A son is visiting his mother in a mental hopsital when in the same room he comes across a guy moving his arms around and making beeping noises.

"Excuse me", he asks him. "What on earth are you doing?"

"I'm driving my car!, says the guy excitedly. "Beep beep!"

"You fricking nutbar, you're not in a car, you're in a mental hospital!"

A voice comes from the bed opposite. "Hey dipshit, shut the frick up will you, he's giving me twenty bucks a day to wash the bitch."
