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 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 another patient, I have concluded that your act

displays that you have a sound

mind.



The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hung 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.
