“A Social Worker develops programs to help feed the poor,” she had said, “and makes sure there’s a chicken in every pot. A Counselor asks them how they feel about getting the chicken. And a Therapist diagnoses and treats them when they start hearing voices from the chicken telling them to cut their wrists.”
