You're a free man now

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!"

Part 2 :

Jim and Mary were both patients in a Mental Hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sunk to the bottom & stayed there. Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.

When the medical director became aware of Mary's heroic act he immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as he now considered her to be mentally stable.When he went to tell Mary the news he said, "Mary, I have good news & bad news. The good news is you're being discharged because since you were able to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think you've regained your senses.The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

Mary replied "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry."

Part 3 :

A man has been sent to a state hospital (mental home) because he thought he was a mouse. After some weeks he was asked by one doctor of the hospital a couple of questions to see if he got normal again.

He asked him: "Are you a man or a mouse?"
The man said: "I am a man,"

The doctor asked: "Are you sure?"
"I am 100% sure" said the man.

They released him but after 5 minutes he came back running and said to the doctor: "Please lock me again in my room! - A cat is hunting me!"

The doctor said: "Why are you afraid of one cat - I thought that you are a man and not a mouse" The man said: "I know that I am a man and not a mouse, but does the cat know this too?"
