My therapist told me, "Time to heal all wounds," so I shot him in the nuts.

Literal Healing
Categories
Explanation
Experiment
The humor comes from the literal interpretation of a common saying. The phrase "time to heal all wounds" is usually a metaphor for emotional or psychological recovery. The person in the joke takes it literally, assuming that if time heals all wounds, then the therapist must have a physical wound to heal, which the person creates by shooting them. It's a dark and unexpected twist on a common phrase.
