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 tel l 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 mind.
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?"
