Mental health Day

 

---

From: Philip

 

*Ralph and* *Edna 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.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him.  She swam to the bottom* *and 

pulled him 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 the person you love...  I have concluded* *that your act 

displays sound mindedness.

The bad news is, Ralph 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?'

Happy Mental Health Day!
