: Love in the Mental Hospital
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 respond
rationally 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 in the bathroom with
his bath robe 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?"
