The unhappiest person in the world..

Once upon time a time there was a man who suffered from severe depression. He went to see the best doctors in the land for money was no problem , but nobody seemed able to help him to feel happy. Feeling desperate, he turned to a leading practitioner of complementary medicine as a  last resort..

After listening in detail to the patient's descriptions of his symptoms, the doctor suggested that the patient could find solace, and the end of his suffering, in love. The man however responded that this had never been a problem for him and  that he had often  loved and been loved.

The doctor then suggested  traveling and seeing other parts of the world. However the poor miserable soul responded that, without exaggeration, he had already been everywhere and  seen everything there was to see...

"Then how about taking up a new hobby? something  completely different to anything you've ever done before.  That should do the trick." But it turned  out that the patient  had tried that too, several times, and found no relief...

The doctor began to suspect that the man was an incurable liar. How could he possibly have done so much? But, being a good healer, the doctor had a final insight.

"Not to worry. I have the perfect solution for you. You must attend a performance of the greatest comedian of our day. He will amuse you to such an extent that you will be cured for ever . You must attend a performance of the Great Delmonte."

The man looked at the doctor with the saddest look you can possibly imagine. "if that's your  recommendation doctor, then I am truly a lost man and there is no cure for my condition. I am the Great Delmonate."
