Nursing Humououour

I start my mental health rotation on Monday, so of course the jokes are flying. A fellow student shared this one:
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.
Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.
When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna'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 Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to respond rationally to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love.... I have concluded that your act displays soundness of mind. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry.. How soon can I go home?'

  1. LOL.

    That joke reminds me of someone I knew in high school. The good news is that he rescued someone from drowning in the school pool. The bad news is that he was cutting class at the time.

    He was duly praised for his action, and I would have to agree. He could have chosen to leave his cutting class go undiscovered, but instead he chose to do the right thing disregarding the consequence to himself.

    Nice job on the redecorating! At first I thought I was lost. The background is very nice.
