I’ve been down here before and I know the way out
I was watching West Wing over the Christmas break and there was episode where a character with PTSD after being shot (Josh) went to see a Head Doctor. When he came out Leo was waiting for him - an Alcoholic - and he told him this story: This guy is walking down a street when he falls in a hole, the walls are so steep he can’t get out. A Doctor passes by and the guy shouts out “Hey you, can you help me out”. The Doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a Priest come along and the guy shouts out “Father, I am down in this hole, can you help me out?”. The Priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole then moves on. Then a friend walks by “Hey Joe, it’s me, can you help me out?” and the friend jumps in the hole. The guy says “Are you stupid, now we are both down here?” The friend says “Yeah, but I’ve been down here before and I know the way out" "I've been down here before and I know the way out" - got me
