I am reminded of a couple of stories I heard concerning the psychiatric profession in Florida. It turns out that a man with a strong southern accent was admited to the hospital in Gainesville with an upper respitory infection. The man was was interviewed by the resident psychiatrist. In their conversation the man reported that he couldn't smell his "collard greens." Unfamiliar with local cuisene and dialect the doctor asked the man if he could smell the color blue or red. The patient said no and he was admitted to the psych ward. No problem though since the same doctor had admitted a frenchman the previuos week for speaking "gibberish."
