[QUOTE=Governor Quinn]  
Mine talk about whatever they want to, whenever they want to, and without any sort of logical timing as to subject matter.  
[/QUOTE]  
Mine too, makes it hard to get anything done sometimes. I sometimes answer out loud, which is kind of embarassing in a crowd.

I know a psychiatrist who would like a word with every one of you. Some more than others.

I should see a shrink for tinnitus? Wow, that’s a new one. It’s the one thing I haven’t tried.

[QUOTE=Winston Smith]  
Dude, the voice in your head is a psychiatrist?!? Whoa. That’s messed up.  
[/QUOTE]

While I’m performing, the voice in my head typically says:  
“Fuck it up. Now. Screw up your next line.”
