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. 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?'
