He looks at the reader and says,"I realize that I need help..." He looks in her direction and continues,"I have this fear of falling off chairs..."<BR><BR> She replies,"That's ridiculous, Charlie Brown!"<BR><BR> She props both hands under her chin and continues,"You have what we call an 'irrational fear'....people simply don't just fall off chairs!"<BR><BR> She leans back in her chair, with her hands behind her head and her foot propped up on the booth's counter. She says,"You can't run your life by being afraid of something that's never going to happen..." He goes unnoticed by her as he falls out of the chair with a Klunk!<BR><BR> As he shakingly struggles back into the chair she continues,"It's an irrational fear, Charlie Brown....that's all it is..."<BR><BR> She reaches out a hand and says,"Five cents, please!"<BR><BR> As he falls out of the chair unnoticed again, she stands up and asks,"Where'd he go?"<BR><BR>
