NERVES!
LONDON, July 28. If your wife hits you with a rolling pin, it doesn’t mean she hates you; it’s just nerves. Or so it seems from this neurosis test, explained by Dr. Twiston Davies at Medico-Psychological Conference at Haywards Heath, Sussex, yesterday: “Where I suspect a .neurosis I ask tire patient suddenly: ‘Do you hit your husband over the head with a rolling pin or does he hit you?’ If she looks annoyed, bursts into tears, or perhaps replies, ‘Well, as a matter of fact, my mother-in-law comes along and hits us both on the head with the rolling pin,’ then I send her to the psychiatric clinic.”
