One day, Ethel and Joe are walking along a pool by the Mantal Asylum. Completely out of nowhere, Joe dives into the pool in an effort to drown himself. On a spur of the moment, Ethel dives in after him and hauls him out.

The next day, the appeal board called Ethel in. "Well Ethel, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that thanks to your clear thinking, and quick action, we believe you are finally fit to re-enter society. However, unfirtunately, last night Joe succeeded in committing suicide, and he hung himself with his belt. I'm truly sorry Ethel."

To which Ethel replied, "Oh, I just hung him up to dry him out, that's all! So when can I go home?"
