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?"
Happy Mental Health day!
