Jon and Dan were in a mental institution. This place had an annual contest,
picking two of the best patients and giving them two questions. If they
answered correctly, they were 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 would happen if I poked out both your eyes?" "I'd be
completely blind." The doctor stood up, shook his hand, and told him he was
free.
On Jon's way out, as the doctor filled out the paperwork, Jon mentioned the
questions to Dan. He told him what questions would be asked and the answers.
Dan was called in. The doctor went through the formalities and asked, "What
would happen if I cut off one of your ears?" Dan, remembering what Jon had
said, said, "I'd be half blind." The doctor looked a little puzzled, but
went on. "What would happen if I cut off both your ears?" "I'd be completely
blind." "Dan, how can you explain that you'd be blind?" asked the doctor.
"Well, " replied Dan, "my hat would fall over my eyes."
