Literal Healing

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.

• My therapist told me time heals all wounds, so I stabbed him. Then I waited for the results.
• My therapist said I have trouble letting go of the past. So I killed him.
• If a person kills their counselor, does that mean that they don't need therapy anymore?
• I recently was told by my therapist to stop with the suicide jokes. So I replied with "Don't worry, it will all end soon."
