nw joke thread
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 hospital director became aware of Edna's heroic act, she
immediately ordered that Edna be discharged from the hospital because
she now is considered to be mentally stable.
The director went to Edna and said, "I have some good news and some bad
news. The good news is that you're being discharged because you
responded so rationally to a crisis by jumping in the pool to save the
life of another patient. Your action displays soundness of the mind.
"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. When can
I go home?"
