Got me talking to friends last night about similar things, and I was reminded of this.

During my first year at Uni, we had a hypnotist come in. (It was actually Hugh Lennon, who features in Danny Wallace's 'Yes Man' but he didn't have a hypnodog at the time)

Now, obviously, anyone who volunteers to be hypnostised is likely to feel fairly cringey when they are told what they did.

But after the heavy metal guy who knew all the moves and words to Thriller, the guy who kept getting electric shocks when he sat down and all the usual hypnotists tricks I still don't think any of us were prepared for this.

A Malaysian guy who was in the same hall as a friend from my course was on stage.

He'd eaten an onion like it was an apple.

He'd become convinced he was naked.

And then he was told something like 'you are experiencing your best ever day, describe it to us'

and he said

'I am laying on a bed'

OK

'I am naked'

Ooh, getting interesting

'I am face down'

This could get weird

'And someone is pushing a broom handle up my bottom'

EEK.

Now, if that had been me, I doubt I would ever have been able to show my face again. But somehow it got worse when he said who was doing the pushing.


Margaret Thatcher.


I would have quit my course there and then.

Having lived through the Thatcher years...
....I know how he feels. Can't say I enjoyed it though
