PUZZLES FOR THE INSANE: we don't need no stinkin'

full title==="WE DON'T NEED NO STIKIN' PUZZLES"====c)2006 Elton Houck...Series--JIGSAW PUZZLWS FOR THE INSANE..." The series project consists of various forms representing insane puzzles. The works of this series are completed via my HP 4850 SCANJET in a process I call SCANOLOGY.--------- ----------------------------------- In this patrticular puzzle an 97 year old patient at BACKWARD NO=PROGRESS PSYCHATRIC RETROWARD is allowed to extend his "casual dress Fridays" (no straightjackets) for a whole month if he can solve the puzzle...The man is allowed to request up to three problem solving aids for his assignment. The patient, one Horace Purcey Cantolagonzo requests the following three aids: (1) a black pair of knitted socks with matching hat (2)a large bag of blue M&Ms(3)a four inch chunk of black obsedian rock flushed out of the LaBrey Tar pits . But you the observer must surely declare, "THIS IS INSANE"...and of course you are correct...Now you may begin to solve the puzzle...

BRILLIANT...AND FUNNY! AND I WONDER WHAT IS NEXT!!!!!!!

Artist Reply: I plan to continue and expand my attack of modern psychiatry and its total inability to cure one single person...When I was in the Maters program in the university...I chose a field of study (MLA) that allowed me to be in advanced classes in many fields..Many of the classes were in Psychology...what a trip!!!. It is wholesale witch doctory with a pseudo-intelligencia facade...So my intent is not to offend in this series,( not the poor souls suffering a treatment under these self gratifying shaman) but to call attention to their false scientism dictates. Too serious? Well, that is why I like satire...grave issues can be met with some humor..or other wise we fall away from them like they were poisonous vipers...and that is exactly what this false science is.."Drug em.' and since they are not as violent, the world will think we actually have a plan and that we know what we are doing..." so exclaims the psychologist/psychiarists of the world.
