Another Joke

[robbo]

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 director of Nursing became aware of Edna's heroic act, she

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

another patient, I have concluded that your act displays

sound mindedness.

The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in his

bathroom with the belt to his robe right after you saved him. I am

sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry.
