In
a hospital for mentally disturbed people, when the doctor walked
into the room of a patient, he saw him dangling from the ceiling.
Being frightened, he called the nurse to come and pull him down
for fear that the man might fall to his death. The nurse said: "Doctor,
every day this patient thinks that he is a lamp, therefore, he often
hangs from the ceiling!"
The
doctor said: "No, you have to pull him down at once; otherwise,
he'll die if he falls down."
After
a pause, the nurse answered: "But the light will go out after
I pull him down!"
