REASONS FOR GETTING BANGED UP IN AN INSANE ASYLUM

Back in the 19th century it wouldn’t take much to get you banged up in a mental asylum. Some of the reasons are great: laziness, egotism, disappointed love, female disease, mental excitement, imaginary female trouble, gathering in the head, jealousy, religion, asthma, masturbation, and even ‘deranged’ masturbation


Shame on you if you can’t find a category here you wouldn’t fit into.


But think on this for a minute; what would they make of the current crop of nutcases walking our streets? I’m sure I could come up with a list of those who would be banged up in an insane asylum in the 19th century.


  • Saying you’re transgender just to get me me me attention

  • Claiming to be genderfluid 

  • Expressing Woke ideology in public

  • A lack of humour

  • Bursting into tears because you’ve been misgendered

  • Accusing someone of being a racist because you don’t agree with their point of view

  • Accusing someone of being far-right for no other reason than to turn neighbour against neighbour

  • Wanting to cut your dick off

  • Insisting people use imaginary pronouns to identify you

  • Understanding what pronouns are

  • Exhaustion or delicacy of intellect

  • Believing that all white people are far-right thugs because they object to government inaction on knife crime

  • Gluing yourself to a motorway

  • Saying, ‘Oh, I don’t hold with all these conspiracy theories,’ because you’ve no other answer to someone’s argument, an argument that makes total sense to you but goes against something you previously believed

  • Hating the person who points out you’ve been lied to instead of hating the person who’s been lying to you    

  • Believing that Adam had a naked Eve in front of him but he was more interested in an apple

  • Believing that a bloke wearing a dress and makeup doesn’t look like a bloke wearing a dress and makeup


Feel free to add to the list
