Thought for the day

 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, Iince 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, Jim, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he’s dead
”  

Edna adreplied, “He didn’t hang himself, I put him there to dry.” 

“How soon can I go home?”
