The reasons for people being admitted to an asylum are we all on there somewhere.

Wow! I was born and raised about 25 miles from the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia. Looking down the list, you could have (and probably still could if they were still open) found a dozen reasons to admit me. Let's see, Immoral Life (although I have tried hard to do otherwise), Jealousy, Laziness, Over action of the mind (???!!!), Over taxing of mental powers, periodical fits (is this from reading bad periodicals/magazines ???), Bad Habits, Asthma (?!?!?!?), Egotism, Grief, Hard Study (???), Salvation Army (I donate to them - does that make me crazy???), and probably a few more.
Some are downright incredible!!
Anyone who doesn't fit in to at least a half dozen of these, please raise your hand. LOL
