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. 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

the 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 with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am

sorry, but he's dead." Edna replied, "He didn't hang

himself, I put him there to dry.

How soon Did you say I can go home?"
