JIM AND EDNA
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 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 that 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?"
