The Hypnotist
By

Jake was your typical twenty something college graduate. Good job, decent pay, nice apartment, and a physique to match…a 140 pound specimen…just ask him! Successful and smart, and the attitude to match! He was the guy all the guys wanted to be.
One Friday evening, a group of friends invited Jake to go with them to a night club. The performer was Andre the Hypnotist. Jake said “Sure, but that hypnotism is a bunch of phony crap, it should be good for a few drinks and a few laughs!”
After a few drinks to set the mood, Jake had a good buzz on, and he was ready for the show. “Presenting Andre, Master of Hypnotism” said the announcer. His tongue loosened by the six or seven drinks, Jake watched and laughed. After a few people clucked like chickens, or thought they were someone else, then Jake said “you’re a fake!” For the rest of the show, Jake’s mission was to heckle Andre.
After the show, Andre walked over to Jake and said “So you think this is all faked! Come to my office tomorrow and I’ll hypnotize you. I can hypnotize anyone. If I can’t, then I’ll pay you $5000!” Jake said “Sure, that is an easy $5000! “See you at 9:00 a.m.!” Andre smiled. Jake and friends stayed until closing time, staggered to a cab and went home.
Next day at 9:00 a.m. Jake arrived as scheduled. The room was dark, except for one dim light.
“Have a seat in this recliner and we’ll begin” instructed Andre.
The recliner was comfortable, the room cool, relaxing, quiet and comfortable. Nursing a bit of a hangover it was challenging for Jake to stay awake. For about 20 minutes, Andre sat quietly. Jake thought this must be a joke, he’s not saying a thing. Soft music playing in the background, Jake decided he’d just nap and then collect his $5000.
What Jake wasn’t aware of was that the music had subliminal messages encouraging him to fall asleep and do what Andre said.
Now Jake was asleep, and his mind open to suggestion. That’s when Andre began to exact his revenge on his heckler. Jake would become twice the man he used to be.
Andre then gave Jake these instructions “Jake…you love to eat! You will eat 3 full meals a day. You will eat until you are full and can’t eat another bite. Your favorite activity after work will be sitting on the couch, watching TV, and snacking. You’re a chub, and are attracted to other chubs. Fat is sexy. Food makes your horny. You will continue this pattern until you reach 280 pounds and then enjoy your new life as a bear. You will not remember this session, and are ready to collect your $5000.”
Andre then turned on the lights and woke up Jake. “Sorry, I guess you proved your point, you’re the first person I couldn’t hypnotize! All you did was sleep.” signed Andre. “Yeah, see I told you this was a bunch of bull!” exclaimed Jake. Andre gave Jake his $5000 in cash.
“No hard feelings Jake! Want to grab some lunch? I’ll buy.” offered Andre. Jake agreed. Jake thought what a good loser…besides he was getting hungry. No breakfast this morning and it was almost lunch.
Andre took Jake to a nearby pizza buffet. Jake was starving. An empty stomach after a night of drinking would make anyone hungry. Jake went through about 8 pieces of pizza and a pitcher of beer. Jake was stuffed and headed home. A good football game was on this afternoon, and he wanted to watch it. The change had begun.
