After hearing that one of the patients in a mental hospital had saved another from a
suicide attempt by pulling him out of a bathtub, the director reviewed the rescuer’s file
and called him into his office.

"Mr. James, your records and your heroic behavior indicate that you’re ready to go
home. I’m only sorry that the man you saved later killed himself with a rope around the
neck."

"Oh, he didn’t kill himself," Mr. James replied.

"I hung him up to dry."
