>> Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while
>> they were walking past the hospital swimming pool Jim suddenly fell
>> 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 Director of Nursing 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,
>> hanged himself in his bathroom with the belt to his robe 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?"
