Father of psychoanalysis, pioneer of the "talking cure", and foremost Master of Wack.Okay, so wouldn't you be crazy if you spent four years looking for eel testicles?
Poor, misunderstood Dr. Freud, fresh out of the eel lab began practicing medicine as a neurologist ... treating neurotic patients, of course! He tried hypnosis; gently swinging an eel in front of his patient and muttering "vher are the testis?" to no avail. Despondent, he let his patients lie on his couch and talk. Hence, not unlike Jerry Springer, Freud started amassing tomes of verbal vomit which he later published as medical research.
Thanks to Dr. Freud you can now spend a fortune on psychoanalysis or, my preference, save a lot of money practicing the "talking cure" over lunch (and a Coke) with the girls.
