Jim and Mary were both patients in a Mental Hospital. One day while
they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Mary suddenly
jumped into the deep end. She sunk to the bottom and stayed there. Jim promptly
jumped in to save her. He swam to the bottom and pulled Mary out.
When the medical director became aware of Jim's heroic act he immediately
ordered him to be discharged from the hospital, as he now considered
him to be mentally stable. When he went to tell Jim the news he said,
"Jim, I have good news and bad news.
The good news is you're being discharged because since you were able
to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think you've regained
your senses.
The bad news is, Mary, the patient you saved, hung herself with her
bathrobe belt in the bathroom.
I am so sorry, but she's dead.
Jim replied, "She didn't hang herself. I put her there to dry."
