Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One dat 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 hospital director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered that Edna be discharged from the hospital because she now considered Edna to be mentally stable. The director went to Edna and said, "I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you're being discharged because you responded ao rationally to a crisis by jumping in the pool to save the life of another patient. Your action displays sound mindedness. The bad new is that Jim, the patient you saved, hanged 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?"

reasonably twisted, but unfortunately great insite into how the minds of these so called do good social workers, etc think, they have such ridgid rules and guidlines. The loopholes are everywere, not one of them can sew them up. It is a sad story, hope it was not a personal one. I think Edna picked up a few tips and tricks from the metal hospital. Those places must rub off on a person, so becoming normal activity after a while. Sad.
