The Mental Hospital

[im hawt]

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 and pulled Jim out. When the medical director
became aware of Edna's heroic act he immediately
ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as he now
considered her to be mentally stable.

When he went to tell Edna the news he 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 another patient, I have concluded that your act
displays sound mindedness.The bad news is, Jim, the patient
you saved, hung himself right after you saved him
with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom. 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?"
