Have A Fantabulous Day Thanks to Jim & Edna


"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 Director of Nursing 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 another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound
minded-ness.

The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in his
bathroom with the belt of his robe 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?"
