Jim and Mary were both patients in a Mental Hospital. One day,
while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Mary
suddenly jumped into the deep end. She sank like a stone to the bottom and stayed there.
Jim promptly jumped in to save her. He swam to the bottom and
pulled Mary out.
When the medical director became aware of Jim's heroic act, he
immediately ordered him to be discharged from the hospital, as
he now considered him to be mentally stable.
When he went to tell him the news, he said, "Jim, 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 Mary, the patient you saved, hung herself in the bathroom with the belt of her robe. I am so sorry, but she's dead."
Jim replied, "She didn't hang herself, I put her there to dry."
