Mental Hospital

Raj and Ramesh were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Raj suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Ramesh promptly jumped in to save him. He swam to the bottom and pulled Raj out.

When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Ramesh's heroic act, He immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as He now considered her to be mentally stable.

When He went to tell Ramesh the news He said, 'Ramesh, 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 another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.

The bad news is, Raj, the patient you saved, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him.

I am so sorry, but he's dead.'

Ramesh replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry.

How soon can I go home?'
