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 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 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"...
