Jon and Amanpreet were in a mental institution. This place
had an annual contest picking
two of the best patients and gives
them two questions. If they got them correct, they're deemed
cured and free to go.
Jon was called into the doctor's office first and asked if he
understood that he'd be free if he answered the questions
correctly. The doctor said, "Jon, what would happen if I poked
out one of your eyes?"
Jon said, "I'd be half blind."
"That's correct. What if I poked out both eyes?"
"I'd be completely blind." The doctor stood up, shook
Jon's
hand, and told him he was free.
On Jon's way out, as the doctor filled out the paperwork, Jon
mentioned the exam to Amanpreet. He told him what questions were
going to be asked and gave him the answers.
So Amanpreet came in. The doctor went thru the formalities and
asked, "What would happen if I cut off one ear?"
Amanpreet, remembering what Jon had said was the correct answer
said,
"I'd be half blind."
The doctor looked a little puzzled, but went
on. "What if I cut
off the other ear?"
"I'd be completely blind," Amanpreet answered.
"Amanpreet, can you explain how you'd be *blind*?"
"My hat would fall down over my eyes."
