Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool,Ralph suddenly
jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love... I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry..
How soon can I go home?'
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

 Good one, Ian!  (...I'll bet Alfred Hitchcock would have loved to have filmed this one for his old half hour anthology TV program...it would've fit right in there, huh!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

You're right Dwight.It would have made a good episode on Alfred Hitchcock's TV show.

Yep, Paul!  Ya know, the reason I brought up Mr. Hitchcock here is because the ironic twist ending of Ian's joke remined me of one of my all-time favorite old Alfred Hitchcock Present episodes. It's titled "A Dip in the Pool", and starred one of favorite old character actors, Keenan Wynn. If you have a little time here(about half an hour), I invite you take a look and see if you don't agree that there is a similar ironic ending to this episode as there was to Ian's joke... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLz2vqwr13c
