Bill and Doris were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day, while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Bill suddenly plunged into the deep end and sank to the bottom.
Doris promptly jumped in to save him.
She swam to the bottom and pulled Bill out.
When the head of hospital became aware of this heroic act, she immediately ordered Doris to be discharged from the hospital,
as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to inform Doris of her decision, she said, “I have good news and bad news.
The good news is you’re being discharged.
As 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 soundmindedness.
The bad news, unfortunately, is that Bill, whose life you saved, hanged himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt, right after you rescued him. I am so sorry, but he’s dead.”
“That’s sad,” said Doris. “But he didn’t hang himself – I put him there to dry.
When can I go home?”
