Passing an exam
[ 2006-07-27 08:00 ]
Three patients in a mental
institution prepare for an examination given by the head psychiatrist. If the
patients pass the exam, they will be free to leave the hospital. However, if
they fail, the institution will detain them for five years.
The doctor
takes the three patients to the top of a diving board looking over an empty
swimming pool, and asks the first patient to jump.
The first patient
jumps head first into the pool and breaks both arms.
Then the second patient
jumps and breaks both legs.
The third patient looks over the side and refuses
to jump.
"Congratulations! You're a free man. Just tell me why didn't
you jump?" asked the doctor.
To which the third patient answered, "Well Doc,
I can't swim!"
