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 sank to the bottom and 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 and 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."
