Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly
jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom, pulled Jim out
and brought him to his room.
When the hospital Director became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately
ordered that Edna be discharged from the hospital because she now considered
Edna to be mentally stable.
So she went to Edna and said, "I have some good news and some bad news. The
good news is that you're being discharged because you responded so rationally
to a crisis. By jumping in the pool to save the life of Another patient, you
displayed sound mindedness.
The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in his bathroom
with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry,but he's
dead."
Edna replied,
"He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"
