Fred and Edna a sad story

Fred and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital, and good friends. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Fred suddenly jumped into the deep end.

He sank straight 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 respond rationally to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of your friend… I have concluded that your act displays sound-mindedness.

The bad news is, Fred 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…

Two alternatives

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation in Jerusalem . 

rose

While they were there, the wife passed away. 

The undertaker told the husband, ”You can have her buried here in the Holy Land for R150 or we can have her shipped back home for R5000. 

The husband thought about it and told the undertaker he would have her shipped back home. 

The undertaker asked him, ”why would you spend R5000 to have her shipped home when you could have a beautiful burial here, and it would only cost R150??” 

 

The husband replied, ”Long ago, a man died here, was buried here, and three days later, rose from the dead. I Just can’t take that chance!”
