Humour and voices 0
And now for something a little bit different.....
A lot of the information on this site is inevitably of of a serious nature, but we also know there is a lighter side to hearing voices!
Thanks to Hywel Davies from the Hearing Voices Network Cymru (Wales) who proposed that we should have a section of the site dedicated to the lighter side of the hearing voices experience. Hywel has also sent in a list of jokes about hearing voices and would love to hear from an illustator, so that we could make some cartoons ourselves.
See below for a selection of the jokes about voices that Hywel has sent in, if you can illustate, please get in touch. We hope to use any cartoons that are created to raise money for the work of INTERVOICE.

A little obvious and stereotyped perhaps!
Witty "sayings" about hearing voices
A collection of witticisms about hearing voices
Nuts!
A man walks into a bar and orders a drink. After sitting for a few minutes, he hears a voice say, "nice tie." He looks around but doesn't see anybody near him and so he forgets about it.
Some time passes and he hears the same voice say, "nice shirt." This time he looks everywhere; behind him, up and down the bar, under the chair, behind the bar, everywhere he can think to look, but he doesn't see anyone.
>A few minutes later he hears, "nice haircut." He can't stand it any more, so he calls the bartender over and tells him he has been hearing this voice but can't figure out who is speaking.
The bartender says, "Oh that... That's the nuts..." "...they're complimentary."
Hearing Voices
A middle aged man hears a voice out of nowhere say: "Sell your house, quit your job, divorce your wife and go to Vegas."
The man thinks to himself, "I love my job, my wife and where I live, why would I want to leave all of that behind?" He quickly forgets about the voice.
The man is trying as hard as he can to ignore the voice and get on with his life, but it gets harder each time the voice comes back. Soon the man hears the voice every single day: "Sell your house, quit your job, divorce your wife and go to Vegas." Finally, one day he says, "Fine, I'll sell my house, quit my job, divorce my wife and go to Vegas."
He bundles all of his worldly wealth into one suitcase and boards the next plane to Vegas. When he lands in Vegas, the voice says, "Go to Caesar's Palace." The man does just that. Then the voice says, "Make your way to the roulette wheel." The man goes to the roulette wheel. The voice says, "Put everything on 24 red."
The man does that. All of his possessions are on one roulette game.
The ball lands on 17 black. The voice says, "Damn."
Hearing voices in the new Will Ferrell comedy the truth is stranger than fiction 0
"Ferrell plays Harold Crick, a compulsively routinized IRS agent whose devotion to dental hygiene is such that when he begins hearing a voice in his head, he thinks it’s coming from his toothbrush."
