Spark and Meg were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Spark suddenly jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Meg promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom, pulled Spark out and brought him to his room.
When the hospital director became aware of Meg's heroic act, she immediately ordered that Meg be discharged from the hospital because she now considered Meg to be mentally stable.
She went to Meg and said, "I have some good news and some bad news." The good news is that you're being discharged because you responded so rationally to a crisis. By jumping in the pool to save the life of another patient, you displayed sound mindedness.
The bad news is that Spark, the patient you saved, hung himself in his bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.
Meg replied, "He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry.
How soon can I go home?"
