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 medical director became aware of Edna's heroic act, he
immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as 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 and saving the live 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?"
