Jim And Edna >>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 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. The director 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. Your >>action displays sound mindedness. The bad news is that 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. >> >>How soon can I go home?"
