TELL US A FUNNY STORY ABOUT YOURSELF.
When I was a kid I had a thumb-sucking problem. My grandfather had a procedure for weaning me off the thumb and that was to read the story "Little Johnny Suck-a-Thumb" from an old book of children's cautionary tales. In the story Johnny gets his thumbs snipped off by tiny men with giant scissors. Yes, there were illustrations. I was off the thumb by age 7.
