*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!
You can do your bit by remembering to send an email to an unstable
friend...
I've done my part!!*
