LOVE IN A 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 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, 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. How
soon can I go home
