Jim and Edna were patients in a mental hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital pool, Jim suddenly
jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom, pulled him
out and took him back to his room.
When the hospital director became aware of Edna's heroic act,
he immediately ordered that she be discharged from the hospital
because he now considered her to be mentally sound.
So he 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 into the pool to save the life of
another patient, you displayed sound mindedness. But the bad news is
that Jim hung himself in his bathroom shortly after you left him. I am
so sorry, but he's dead."
Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry.
When can I go home?"
