Get a Hobby

A man is talking to his therapist. “Doc, I feel like I’m wasting my life. All I do is sit around reading fantasy books. Must be my 50th time going through Tolkien. I feel so directionless.”

The therapist tells him, “I would suggest finding a real hobby. One that gets you out of the house. Try it this week and come back.”

The man shrugs. “Well, I guess it’s worth a shot.”

The man goes back the following week and is on cloud nine. “Doc! I took your advice and I’ve had the best week ever. I must have been to a dozen different pubs, I went foraging for mushrooms, and I’ve been on all sorts of adventures.”

“That’s great to hear. What did you do different?”

“Instead of telling you, why don’t I show you?”

The man opens the door and pulls in a little person with shaggy hair, bare feet, and smoking a long wooden pipe.

The therapist is confused. “What does this person have to do with your new hobby?”

There’s a long pause before the man replies, “Ohhh. Did you say get a hobby?”
