Jim and Mary 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 like a stone to the bottom and stayed there.
Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.
When the medical director became aware of Mary'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 her the news, he said, "Mary, 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 that Jim, the guy you saved, hung himself in the bathroom with
the belt of his robe. I am so sorry, but he's dead." Mary replied, "He didn't
hang himself, I put him there to dry".
