List of reasons for admission to an insane asylum from the late 1800s
Dangerous Minds ^ | 10/22/2013

After viewing this list of what could have gotten you admitted to West Virginia’s Hospital for the Insane (Weston) aka Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum back in the late-1800s, I’ve swiftly concluded that the criteria was rather all-encompassing. Who among us is a stranger to what’s on this list?

In this century, it looks more like a “wish list” for Dr. Phil’s guest bookers!

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is still open, but only for tours.

"So, Beavis and Butt-Head, I understand Mr. McVicker has made a little arrangement with you guys. Yeah, a little probation. You see, class, Beavis and Butt-Head here are not allowed to laugh for a whole week. That's right, and if they do laugh they'll be expelled, and they'll have to go to Hope High School where they'll get their asses kicked on a daily basis by all the other delinquents, ha ha ha! Well, I was real glad to hear that, because this is sex education week. That's right, sex ed. week. We're gonna be talkin' about the PENIS! We'll be talkin' about the VAGINA! Do you think that's funny, Butt-Head? Do you find it amusing that we'll be talkin' about the TESTICLES? Yes, we're also gonna be talkin' about VENEREAL DISEASE! SEXUAL INTERCOURSE! THE SCROTUM! THE CLITORIS! And... and we will definitely be spending a lot of time talking about..."

"...MASTURBATION!"

That’s like 65,700 consecutive blue pills at 4 hours per dose. Perhaps one should consult their physician.....

Unfortunately, some on the left want to use the possibility of PTSD to suppress veterans’ rights to keep and bear arms.

You’ve created an epic Free Republic Typo. Unfortunately, there’s unlikely anyone who can use it!

Kicked in the head by a horse.

A famous statistician once calculated that the number of German officers kicked to death by horses each year followed the Poisson distribution. Evidently it happened frequently enough that he could get good data.
