Ralph and Edna

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day
while day were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly
jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed
there. Edna quickly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and
pulled Ralph 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 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 crisis by jumping in and saving the life of
another patient, I have concluced that your that your act displays sound
mindedness. The bad news is , Ralph, the patient you saved, hung himself
with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom right after you saved him. I am sorry,
but he is dead.”
Edna replied, ‘He didn’t hang himself, I put him there to dry. How
soon can I go home?”

Camel Questions
Te little camel went to his mother and asked, “Mother, why do we
camels have such big eyes?”
She looked on him lovingly and replied, “You see, my soon, when we
are walking in the dessert and the wind starts to blowing and there’s sand
everywhere, we need these big eyes to keep an eye on one another so that we
don’t get lost.”
“Oh!” he said. And why do we have such huge feet?
“Well,” she said, “ they allow us to walk easily in the dessert sands
and help us avoid sinking into the dunes.”
“Wow.” He said, “great equipment. What the heck is this stuff on our
backs for?”
“You see,” his mother informed, “we can walk for days, even weeks
without food or water, so we use it to store fat during those times. But why
do you ask me all these obvious questions?”
“Well, mother,” said the young camel, “I was just wondering, if we’ve
got all of this great stuff, what are we doing in the zoo?”
