"A Phone Call"
A man phones a mental hospital and asks
the receptionist if there is anybody in Room 27.
She goes and checks, and comes back to
the phone, telling him No, the room is empty.
"Good," says the man. "That means I must
have really escaped."

"Mental Hospital"
Jones is driving past the state mental hospital
when his left rear tire suffers a flat. While Jones
is changing the tire, another car goes by, running
over the hub cap in which Jones was keeping
the lug nuts. the nuts are all knocked into a
nearby storm drain.
Jones is at a loss for what to do and is about to
go call a cab when he hears a shout from behind
the hospital fence, where one of the inmates has
been watching the whole thing.
"Hey, pal! Why don't you just take one lug nut off
each of the other three wheels? That'll hold your
tires on until you can get to a garage or something."
Jones is startled by the patient's seeming rationality,
but realizes the plan will work, and installs the spare
tire without incident. Before he leaves, he calls
back to the patient. "You know, that was pretty
sharp thinking. Why do they have you in there?"
The patient smiles and says, "I'm in here because
I'm crazy, not because I'm stupid."
