Pondus
by Frode Øverli
— Psychologist Angstberg. In your new book, you launch a new method of dealing with panic and phobias!
— Indeed. It’s the “go for it” method.
— So… If you’re afraid of flying…
— Go flying in Mexico!
— Afraid of speaking in public…
— Become a politician!
— Afraid of mother-in-laws…
— Marry!
— So what you’re saying is that fear is best dealt with by facing it?
— Indeed!

Lunch
by Børge Lund
— Come back, Kjell! We can promise you professional help.

— Oh, you shouldn’t bother, Per.
— All that fancy food they use these days. I can’t stand it – give me porridge every time.
— You are a champ at making porridge, boy.
— I don’t feel well, Per.
— Not me either – it’s like I am burning in my chest.
— No, that beats everything, too! I mixed up the plaster of Paris I had in here.
