Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental
hospital. One day while they were walking past the
hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep
end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed
there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the
bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director
became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her
to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be
mentally stable..
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna,
I have good news and bad news. The good news is
you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a
crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you
love. I have concluded that your act displays sound
mindedness.
The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in
the bathroom with his Bathrobe belt right after you saved
him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to
dry. How soon can I go home?"
