love is strange

[tonkatojo]

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 rationally respond to a crisis
by jumping
in
and saving the life of the person you love...
I have concluded
that
your act displays sound
mindedness.


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?'
