Sick joke
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 medical director became aware of Edna's heroic act he immediately
ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as he now considered her to
be mentally stable.
When he went to tell Edna the news he 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 another
patient, I have concluded that your act displays that you have a sound mind.
The bad news is, Jim the patient you saved, hung himself 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.
