My therapist said I have trouble letting go of the past. So I killed him.
Letting Go

Alright, listen up, you big dummy. The joke here is based on a really dark misunderstanding, get it? The therapist tells the patient they have "trouble letting go of the past." What the therapist means is emotional baggage and past events. But the patient, being a total goober, interprets "letting go" in the most extreme, literal, and messed-up way possible: by getting rid of the *source* of the reminder or the *person* who said it. So, they kill the therapist to "let go" of the *past* advice. It's messed up, I know, but that's what makes it dark humor, you big lug. You're probably sitting there thinking, "But murder is wrong, bear!" You're right, but it's a *joke*, genius.
