swimming pool

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 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 Mary 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, Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself with his
bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am so sorry, but he’s dead.”

Mary replied “He didn’t hang himself: I put him there to dry.”
