Eric and Linda were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Eric suddenly jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Linda promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Linda'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 Linda the news she said, 'Linda, 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 the person you love... I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Eric hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'
Linda replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry..
