Jim and Edna
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you
want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
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 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 another patient, I have concluded that your
act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is that Jim, the patient you
saved, 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?"
