Another shared story by MG:
Fred and Mabel were both patients in a mental hospital. One day as
they both walked beside the swimming pool, Mabel jumped into the deep
end and sank to the bottom. Without a thought for his own safety, Fred
jumped in after her, brought her to the surface, hauled her out, gave
her the kiss of life and saved her.
The next day happened to be Fred’s annual review. He was brought before
the hospital board, where the director told him, “Fred, I have some
good news and some bad news: the good news is that in light of your
heroic act yesterday we consider that you are sane and can be released
from this home back into society.
The bad news is, I’m afraid, that Mabel, the patient you saved, shortly
afterwards hung herself in the bathroom with the belt from her
bathrobe. I’m sorry but she’s dead.”
“She didn’t hang herself,” Fred replied ,
“I put her there to dry.”
Things are not always what they seem!
