Things are not always as they seem... in fact, almost never

Let me start with a joke, ok?


Jim and Edna are both patients in a mental hospital.

One day while they are walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumps into the deep end. He sinks to the bottom of the pool and stays there

Edna promptly jumps in to save him. She swims to the bottom and pulls Jim out. When the hospital director becomes aware of Edna's heroic act, he considers her to be mentally stable. He goes to tell Edna the news and says, "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 Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in his bathroom with his robe belt right after you saved him. I am sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replies, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"


This is a joke, but it

meaning
