Ready for Release

After hearing that one of the patients in a mental hospital had saved another from a suicide attempt by pulling him out of a bathtub, the Senior Psychiatrist reviewed the rescuer’s file and called him into his office.

“Well Frank, your records and your heroic behaviour indicate that you’re ready to go home. I’m only sorry that the man you saved later killed himself with a rope around the neck.”
“Oh, he didn’t kill himself,” Frank replied. “I hung him up to dry.”
