Reminds me of the story told (now abbreviated) when I was reading 
Psychology in my first year at University.

A patient was being shown inkblots by a psychiatrist and was asked what 
he (the patient) saw. As each inkblot was shown, the patient replied 
that it was someone performing some sexual act with another person. At 
the end of the test the psychiatrist told the patient that he definitely 
had a psychotic condition of an abnormal sexual nature. "Look who's 
talking!", replied the patient, "And who's been showing me all these 
pornographic pictures then, eh?!".
