Life saver

[Bluehawk]

Jim and Edna 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 sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed

there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him.

She swam to the bottom, pulled Jim out and

brought him to his room.


When the hospital director became aware of

Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered

that Edna be discharged from the hospital

because she now considered Edna to be

mentally stable.


She went to Edna and said, "I have some

good news and some bad news. The good

news is that you're being discharged because

you responded so rationally to a crisis.

By jumping in the pool to save the life of

another patient, you displayed sound

mindedness. The bad news is that Jim,

the patient you saved, hung himself in his

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?"

Put him out to dry, huh?

LOL! I love it! Poor Jim!
