Mental Health At It's Best

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 the person you

love, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.

The bad news is, Jim, 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?"
