Sally arrived home from her date in a great mood. She tossed her coat over a
chair, her purse over the banister; she threw the rest of her clothing
around her bedroom with abandon.
The next morning at breakfast, her mother asked if she had had a good
time.
"Oh," she sighed, "I had a wonderful time!"
"I should guess so," her mother remarked. "Your panties are still
stuck to the ceiling."
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 medical director became aware of Edna'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 Edna the news he 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 right after you saved him with his
bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
Edna replied , "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry.
