Mike and Mary were both patients in a mental hospital. One
day, while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool,
Mike suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sunk to the bottom
of the pool and stayed there. Mary promptly jumped in to save
him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Mike out.
When the medical director became aware of Mary's heroic act
he immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital,
as he now considered her to be mentally stable.
When he went to tell Mary the news he said, "Mary, I have good
news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged
because since you were able to jump in and save the life of
another patient, I think you've regained your senses. The
bad news is, Mike, the patient you saved, hung himself with
his bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
Mary replied, "He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry."
