Jim and Edna
jdgar - 31/1/07 at 04:33 AM

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.

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. When can I go home??"
