PATIENT IN LUNATIC ASYLUM

The head doctors in a lunatic asylum have a meeting and decide that one of their patients is potentially well. So they decide to test him and take him to the movies.

When they get to the movie theater, there are 'wet paint' signs pointing to the benches. The doctors just sit down but the patient puts a newspaper down first and then sits down.

The doctors get all excited because they think he may be in touch with reality now. So they ask him: "Why did you put the newspaper down first?"

He answers: "So I'd be higher and have a better view."
