Bipolar Humor

A short break for levity.

When I have the money to buy gas, I'm an aspiring stand-up comedian. I started at the tender age of 59. Too soon? See rhetorich.com for links to my YouTube videos and comedy blog.

Anyway, I've written four bipolar-flavored jokes/thoughts over the years. Here they are.

1. Being bipolar is like buying a candy bar. Sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you just wanna f---ing kill yourself.

2. I like to pronounce it "BIP-uh-lar" (like Tripoli). Buy-PO-lar sounds too cold and clinical. BIP-uh-lar sounds more, I don't know, *perky*, doncha think?

3. One brand-name Lithium drug is called "Eskalith." It sounds like something the Inuit give to bipolar bears.

4. You can tell bipolars' moods by having them spit into a glass of water. If it sinks, they're depressed. It it floats, they're phlegm-buoyant.
