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.

Lol! I couldn’t resist when I saw what you typed. It’s like when there’s a story posted about beavers. You just can’t resist making a joke.

MENSTRUAL DERANGED

Oh, oh, throw Megyn Kelly in the Asylum. She’s a danger to the public!

Deranged masturbation? WHat the hell is that?..............

I think they were the third act on the bill along with Vicious Vices and Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.

Rumor of Husband Murder is the one I don’t get.

LOL! The kicked in the head by a horse made me laugh. A friend of mine told a story about his dad back in Oklahoma. He was talking to a neighbor lady and she mentioned one son had never been the same after that horse kicked him in the head. Pete’s dad asked her if the horse kicked the whole damned family.

“Egotism”

They’d have to lock up 90% of Washington DC.

[ETL]

Being “Licked in the butt by a horse” should actually be a 21st Century reason for admission to an insane asylum. Lol!

[EvilCapitalist]

Agreed.
