DARTH VADER HAD PROBLEMS
He had problems controlling anger and impulsivity. He suffered from stress-related paranoia and had a pattern of unstable and intense personal relationships. In the end, he turned to the dark side of the force and transformed into the dark lord, calling himself Darth Vader.
Anakin Skywalker clearly suffered from borderline personality disorder, say a team of psychiatrists from the University Hospital of Toulouse in France.
Basing their analysis on original Star Wars film scripts, they cite Skywalker's mood swings and his poor interpersonal relationships, self-image and behaviour as classic markers for the serious mental illness. However, the researchers qualified that Darth Vader's symptoms are certainly extreme.
While borderline personality disorder can be treated with psychotherapy and medication, the dark lord was never offered professional help.

A ventriloquist is doing a gig with his dummy on his lap. He's telling a dumb blonde joke when a young woman jumps to her feet.
"What gives you the right to stereotype blondes that way?" she asks. "What does hair colour have to do with my worth as a human being? You should be ashamed of yourself!"
Flustered, the ventriloquist begins to stammer out an apology. You keep out of this, mister!" she yells. "I'm talking to that little jerk on your knee!"

A priest, a rabbi and a minister are in a boat out in the middle of a lake. The priest says, "I'm thirsty. I'm going to get something to drink." So he steps out of the boat, walks across the water to shore, gets a soda, walks across the water and gets back in the boat.
The minister says, "I'm thirsty too." So he walks across the water to shore, gets a soda, walks back to the boat.
The rabbi says, "My turn." He gets out of the boat and immediately sinks.
The priest turns to the minister. "Think we should've told him where the rocks were?"

A secretary, an assistant and their boss are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a genie appears to grant them each one wish. The secretary says, "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! She's gone.
"I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of pina coladas and the love of my life," says the assistant. And poof! Just like that, he's gone.
"You're next," the genie says to the boss. He says, "I want those two back in the office right after lunch."

That's all for now! Happy mugging and don't feel too depressed! It'll be over in 5 days' time =)
