I love this one :
JIM AND EDNA
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 and pulled Jim
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
save the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays
sound mindedness.
"The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself right after you
saved him with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom. 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?"
