John and David were both patients in a mental hospital. One day
while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, John suddenly
dove into the deep end. He sunk to the bottom and stayed there.
David promptly jumped in to save him. He swam to the bottom of the
pool and pulled John out. The Medical Director came to know of David's
heroic act. He immediately ordered that David be discharged from the
mental hospital as he considered him to be okay.
The doctor told David, "We have good news and bad news for you,
David! The good news is that we are going to discharge you because you
have regained your senses. Since you were able to jump in and save
another patient you must be mentally stable. The bad news is that the
patient whom you saved, Mr. John, hung himself in the bathroom, and
died".
David replied, "Doctor he didn't hang himself, I hung him there to
dry"
