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 sunk to the bottom of the
pool 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."
