John and David were both patients in a Mental hospital. One day while they were  
walking past the hospital swimming pool, John suddenly dove into the deep end.  
He sunk to the bottom and stayed there. David promptly jumped in to save him. He  
swam to the bottom of the pool and pulled John out. 
The medical director came to know of David's heroic act. He immediately ordered  
that David be discharged from the Mental hospital, as he considered him to be 
okay. 
The Director said, "We have good news and bad news for you, David! The good  
news is that we are going to discharge you because you have regained your  
senses. Since you were able to jump in and save another patient you must be  
mentally stable. The bad news is that the patient whom you saved, Mr. John hung  
himself in the bathroom, and died." 
David replied, "Doctor, he didn't hang himself, I hung him there to dry".
