Oh, dear. I think it is time for an intervention. Here, I
came up with this in less than a minute:
!P.MULTI=[0,1,2]
Plot, Findgen(101), YTITLE="", XTitle='Stuff'
ytop = !Y.Window[0]
Plot, Findgen(10), YTITLE="", XTitle='More Stuff'
ybot = !Y.Window[1]
XYOuts, !X.Window[0]-0.05, (ytop-ybot)/2 + ybot, $
'The Y Title', Alignment=0.5, Orientation=90, /Normal
!P.MULTI=0
Cheers,
David

Although the best solution is almost certainly to directly specify
POSITION keywords for the plots (with a /NOERASE for the second), then
XYOUTS as David suggests, you might have a go at padding the ytitle of
one of the plots with spaces. It's a rough and ready, clunky solution,
but it might just work.
y_tit=' y'
!p.multi=[0,1,2]
plot, datax1, datay1, xtitle='x1'
plot, datax2, datay2, xtitle='x2', ytitle=y_tit

Good thing I didn't post my solution of printing out the
plots and writing the title by hand on the paper, then scanning
it back into the computer. :o

You want wacky? I'll give you wacky!
How about putting the title on using LaTeX?
Don't laugh, I have legacy operational scripts that do precisely
that.
