Chapter 7
According to Ziggie, when an uego got vneurotic,
2You had to take it on a tour of the unconscious,
3Which is called wpsychoanalysis,
4And involves,
5By an odd coincidence,
6xA couch and a flashlight.
7Usually, the thing that was making the ego neurotic was something that happened a long long time ago,
8In your childhood,
9yWhen the unconscious was trying to have sex with your mother,
10zAnd got upset because it couldn’t,
11Usually in the middle of some important phase,
12Like the aaoral phase,
13Or the bbanal phase,
14Causing the ccsuperego to start telling the ddego a bunch of vicious lies,
15Which the ego believed, of course,
16eeBecause the human ego is capable of believing almost anything,
17As Ziggie found out.
