8th August 2001.
John & David were both patients in a Mental Hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool,
John suddenly dove in to the deep end. He sunk to the bottom & stayed
there. David promptly jumped in to save him. He swam to the bottom and
pulled John out.
When the medical director became aware of David's heroic act he
immediately ordered David to be discharged from the hospital, as he now
considered him to be mentally stable.
When the director went to tell David the news he said,
"David, I have good news & bad news. The good news is you're being
discharged because since you were able to jump in and save the
life of another patient, I think you've regained your senses. The bad news
is, John, the patient you saved, hung himself with his bathrobe belt in the
bathroom. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
David replied "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry."
