One day a VIP went to visit a lunatic asylum, or - if you are into PC language - a psychiatric hospital. The hospital director was showing the VIP around the premises when in a corridor they came across an incredibly ugly, fierce and ferocious-looking woman, with rolling wild eyes and her mouth set in a vicious snarl .... the VIP was quite shocked at this ghastly apparation. When she had passed them by he said to the Director: "My goodness, that was a terrible sight. But your patients, don't you have them locked up and under your control?" "Of course," said the Director." The VIP was puzzled: "But that awful woman, isn't she locked up and under your control?" "I"'m afraid not," answered the Director. "That was my wife."
