Ramesh and Suresh were both in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool Ramesh suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Suresh promptly jumped in to save him. He swam to the bottom and pulled Ramesh out.
When the hospital director became aware of Suresh's heroic act, she immeidately ordered that Suresh be discharged from the hospital because he now is considered to be mentally stable.
The director went to Suresh and said, "I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you're being discharged because you responded so rationally to a crisis by jumping the pool to save the life of another patient. Your action displays soundness of mind."
"The bad news is that Ramesh, the patient you saved, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
Suresh replied, "He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry. When can I go home?"
