Edna and Walt are a little unhinged...
Walt and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool,
Walt 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 Walt out.
When the Director of Nursing 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 another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound
mindedness.
The bad news is that Walt, the patient you saved, hung himself in
his bathroom with the belt of his robe 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?"
Thanks to Aunt Kee Kee (again) for this one.
