Joke - assigned parking for mentally ill

Years ago, I worked for a mental hospital.  Someone sent me a joke at that time which gave assigned parking spaces based on diagnosis.  Would anyone be able to locate or reproduce it for me?  Please don't respond with comments about not joking about mental illness.  I have had a family member or two who were commited, so understand.  Some things can be funny, albeit not politically correct.

Think with your head, not your a$$.

I'm not familiar with this joke but if you do find it, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

Would you believe while looking through my files for something else, I actually found it!!!  The title is "Clinic Patients: Diagnosis by Parking," by John B. Pittenger, Ph.D. University of Arkansas at Little Rock.  It is a page from the Journal of Polymorphous Perversity.  I don't know the date or volume number.  At the bottom of the page, he references Shofield, Jr., L.J. (1984), so it has to be later than that.  I worked at the hospital from '85 - '98, but don't remember when it was given to me. It is a series of diagrams reported to be observations of the parking behavior of patients arriving at the clinic. If I had a scanner, I'd show it to you.  Obviously, it is all tongue in cheek.  The one for a paranoid schizophrenic say "arrives in tank, kills tree thinking it is a CIA agent."  The depressed patient idles in the entrance to the parking lot with the caption, "unable to make self park."  The multiple personality "arrives in more than one car."
