I saw this on the vanilla site and modified it. As I found it funny and I had not heard it before, it got an automatic kudo.
Ralph and Edna were both residents of a rest home as they had become senile, even though they both did not agree and wanted to go home. 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 nursing home director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately allowed her to be discharged and go home, as she now considered her to be mentally functional.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that you can go home 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?"
