Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Edna and Ralph were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Edna suddenly jumped into the deep end. She sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Ralph promptly jumped in to save her. He swam to the bottom and pulled her out. When the Nurse Director became aware of Ralph's heroic act she immediately ordered him to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered him to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Ralph the news she said, 'Ralph, 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, Edna hung herself in the bathroom with her bathrobe belt right after you saved her. I am so sorry, but she's dead.'
Ralph replied, 'She didn't hang herself, I put her there to dry. How soon can I go home?'
