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?'
