A Western Psychiatrist once visited a Zen master in Japan and asked, "How do you handle neurotics?"

The master replied, " I simply trap them!"

The psychiatrist was puzzled and thought what the master meant by trapping.

He said, "Trapping a neurotic? He will trap you! "

Anyway he further questioned, "But how do you trap neurotics ?"

The master replied, "I get them there, where they cannot ask any more questions!"
