Mr Ry Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Ralph and Elaine were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Elaine promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Ralph out. When the Head Nurse became aware of Elaine'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 Elaine the news she said, "Elaine, 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, Ralph, the patient you saved, hung himself right after you saved him with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am so sorry, but he's dead." Elaine replied "He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
