Jim
and Mary 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 sunk to
the bottom &
stayed
there. Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She
swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.
When the medical director became aware of Mary'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 Mary the news he said, "Mary, I have
good news & bad news.
 |
The good news is you're being discharged because
since you were able to jump in and save the life
of another patient, I think you've regained your
senses. |
| The
bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself
with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am so
sorry, but he's dead." |
 |
Mary
replied "He didn't hang himself, I put him there
to dry."
