There was a time, a long time ago it seems, that I was not a
practicing hypnotist, but the notion tickled me relentlessly.  It
would show up here and there, coincidence after coincidence all
pointing the way.  And then one day, there was a turning point, a
point in which I knew hypnosis was something I wanted to pursue
professionally.  Granted the reference was silly, but it egged me on
to learn the truth about the hypnotic myth.

The reference was a BBC show called "My Hero." Sadly, I could not find
the exact clip that caught my fancy, but it had me rolling for hours.
There is a character, a coarse receptionist type, who became a
hypnotherapist.  Mostly it was done to benefit her wealth-wise.  But
the end of the episode was just too much, a bit morose and total dark
humor.  While at a funeral, as the eulogy was being presented, on
certain words, various members of the crowd would stand up and do
something ridiculous.  By the end, with the hypnotic triggers that the
receptionist had embedded into her clients, they were all performing
the motions for "YMCA."

Maybe you had to be there.

Anyway, the clip of the show that I did find is rather silly as well,
but deals with an alien mind control technique.  The alien is Thermal
Man, Janet is his human wife, and the precious baby is theirs. Enjoy.
