Die Hard

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 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 with his
bathrobe belt in the bathroom 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?"
:D
