Three aspiring psychiatrists, from three leading universities, were attending their first class on emotional extremes.
- “Just to establish some parameters,” said the professor to the student from UCLA, “What is the opposite of joy?”
- “Sadness” said the student.
- “And the opposite of depression?” he asked the young lady from Clemson.
- “Elation,” she said.
- “And you, sir,” he said to the student from Texas A&M, “How about the opposite of woe?”
- The Texas A&M student replied, “Sir, I believe that would be giddy-up”.
