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 like a stone 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 her 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 that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in the
bathroom with the belt of his robe. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
Mary replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry."
