This is a true story:
My cousin was afraid of string but his favorite food was spaghetti. When the irony of this was pointed out to him he replied, "That's the cruellest thing anyone ever said to me."
Actually, phobias aren't particularly funny to the person who has them. They can restrict a person's life hugely. Fortunately they are also the most treatable of mental disorders. Clinical guidelines suggest they are best treated with a combination of medication and cognitive behavioral therapy but can be effectively treated with just CBT.
