Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool,
Ralph 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 and pulled him out.
When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she
immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she
now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good
news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since
you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and
saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your
act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Ralph hanged himself in the 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?'
Thanks Kerry
