bobbyshinton 59 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44107 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 No mention at the start that the joke was set in a mental institution. Poorly set-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasepud 59 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I liked the joke but, yeah, missing an essential first line and bit of scene-setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
