It’s about a neurotic, yet charmingly funny patient named Bob, who wears his psychiatrist out to the point of a nervous break down. It’s very cute, and catchy. But Jim wouldn’t be funny, he would be mean, and even cruel, and of course he would still think he’s a great guy. But if a psychiatrist were to ever treat Jim intensely, the unlucky doctor would most likely end up having a nervous break down like Bob’s unsuspecting psychiatrist. Because Jim has an irrational, and keenly disturbing excuse for every rational question. In his mind it makes absolute sense, and there is no way to tell him otherwise, even when presented with logic. He will never answer a moral question about his behavior with straightforward responsibility. He will constantly deflect, or deny, and eventually change the subject. In his irrational minds eye there is always a rational excuse for being cruel.
