"Napolen In Insane Asylum"
Late one night at the insane asylum one
inmate shouted, "I am Napoleon!"
Another one said, "How do you know?"
The first inmate said, "G-d told me!"
Just then, a voice from another room
shouted, "I did NOT!!!"

"Two Questions"
In Ireland there is a mental institution that
every year picks two of it's most reformed
patients and questions them. If they get the
questions right they are free to leave.
This year the two lucky patients were Patty
and Mike. They were called down to the
office and left there by the orderly. They
were told to wait as the doctor got their files.
The doctor came out and motioned for Patty
to come in for her questioning. When Patty
came into the office she was instructed to
sit in the seat across from the doctor.
"Patty, you know the tradition of this institution
so I imagine you know why you are here. You
will be asked two questions, and if you get
them right, you will be free to go. Do you
understand all that you have been told?" said
the doctor with a rather sly grin. Patty nodded,
and the doctor began to question her.
The first question was this. "Patty, if I was to
poke out one of your eyes, what would happen?"
"I would be half blind of course," Patty answered
without much thought. "What would happen if I
poked out the other eye?" "I would be completely
blind," said Patty knowing that she had just
gotten her freedom. The doctor then sent her
outside while he drew up the paperwork and
accessed Mike's files.
When Patty got into the waiting room however,
she told Mike what the questions would be and
what the correct answers were. The doctor
calls in Mike and he followed the same procedure
that he had with Patty.
"Mike, the first question is what would happen if
I cut off your ear?" "I would be blind in one eye,"
he said remembering what he had been told.
This received a perplexed look from the doctor
but he just simply asks the other question so that
he could figure out what the man was thinking.
"Mike, what would happen if I cut off your other
ear?" "I would be completely blind," he answered
with a smile as if he knew he had passed.
But then the doctor asked him what his reasoning
was, and he said flatly, "Me hat would fall down
over me eyes."
