The Hero
After hearing that a patient in a mental hospital had saved another from a suicide attempt by pulling him out of a bathtub, the hospital director summoned the rescuer to his office.
“Looking through your file and taking into account your heroic behaviour, I am confident that you are ready to be allowed home. I am only sorry that the man you saved later killed himself with a rope around the neck.”
“Oh no,” said the rescuer. “He didn’t kill himself. I hung him up to dry.”
