The Queen was on a visit to a mental hospital. She talked to a male patient tending the hospital flowerbeds and asked him why he was there. In a calm and orderly manner, he told her his life story, adding that he had been in the institution for more than twenty years. The Queen was greatly impressed by his manner and hinted that she might be able to secure his release as he seemed completely cured and ready to resume his place in society. The man was extremely grateful and returned to his gardening as the Queen departed. Her Majesty was just about to leave the hospital grounds when a brick hit her on the back of the head. With blood oozing from the wound, she turned groggily to see the man standing there. He said: "You won't forget, will you?" People say there's a fine line between genius and insanity. I don't think there's a fine line, I actually think there's a yawning gulf. You see some poor bugger scuffling up the road with balloons tied to his ears, he's not going home to invent a rocket, is he? Bill Bailey
