Mentally Stable

Bud and Barbara were both patients in a mental hospital.

One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Bud suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Barbara promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom, pulled Bud out and brought him to his room.

When the hospital director became aware of Barbara's heroic act,she immediately ordered that Barbara be discharged from the hospital because she now considered Barbara to be mentally stable.

She went to Barbara 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 in the pool to save the life of another patient, you displayed sound mindedness." The bad news is that Bud, the patient you ! saved, hung himself in his bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. Iam so sorry, but he's dead."

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

A girl came skipping home from school one day. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled. "We were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" "Yes, it's because you're blonde," her mother replied.

The next day, the girl came skipping home from school. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled, "we were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" Yes, pumpkin, it's because you're blonde."

The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled, "we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these!" And she lifted her tank top to reveal a pair of 36Cs. "Very good," said her embarrassed mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" "No... it's because you're 25."
