Psychologically speaking...

Simone walked into the clinic and immediately sat down on the bench to take off her shoes. She then headed toward the gym where she pulled out a wobble board and proceeded to balance on it. As she tried to remain upright on the wobble board, her gaze wandered. "Where's my magazine?" She wondered to herself. Knowing that after her treatment she would have to spend some time in traction, Simone had brought some reading material. Then the realization set in: she had brought THAT magazine. Convinced she must have left it on the bench when she took off her shoes, Simone raced back to the reception area. No magazine anywhere in sight. Oh no! Maybe someone had found the magazine and picked it up. Simone cringed inwardly at this thought, remembering that the cover of the Psychology of Sexuality magazine bore very explicit pictures. It was, after all, a French magazine... Taking a deep breath, Simone decided to nonchalantly ask the receptionist whether she'd seen a magazine on the bench. The receptionist shook her head. "I don't think I've seen anything," she said. "What was it about?" "Oh, you'd know it if you'd seen it," Simone blurted before she could stop herself. So much for stealth...
