Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want
them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all
they have. 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!
