by Guest Sat Sep 19, 2009 5:03 pmRalph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day, while they
were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph 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 him 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 the person you
love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The
bad news is, Ralph 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."
"How soon can I go home?"
