Smeeagain with a joke. Nobody's making you

[bobbyshinton 59]

After yesterdays little antics I'm not too worried about using too much space.

 

 

 

One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool

Jim 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 Jim out.

 

When the director of nursing became aware of Edna's heroic act,

she 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

rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life

of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays a

sound mind."

 

"The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hanged himself

in his bathroom with the belt to his robe right after you saved

him. I am sorry, but he's dead."

 

 

Edna replied,

"He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?" worst yit

No mention at the start that the joke was set in a mental institution. Poorly set-up.

Although I laughed I have to concur with Gemmill that the delivery and scene setting could do with some improvement.

 

4 out of 10, must try harder tbh

Thanks. Try harder in my book is go on have another go.

I liked the joke but, yeah, missing an essential first line and bit of scene-setting.
