The new inmate at the mental hospital announced in a
loud voice that he was the famous British naval hero,
Lord Nelson. This was particularly interesting, because
the institution already had a "Lord Nelson."

The head psychiatrist, after due consideration, decided
to put the two men in the same room, feeling that the
similarity of their delusions might prompt an adjustment
in each that would help in curing them. It was a
calculated risk, of course, for the two men might react
violently to one another, but they were introduced and
then left alone and no disturbance was heard from the
room that night.

The next morning, the doctor had a talk with his new
patient and was more than pleasantly surprised when he
was told "Doctor, I've been suffering from a delusion. I
know now that I am not Lord Nelson."

"That's wonderful," said the doctor.

"Yes," said the patient, smiling demurely, "I'm Lady
Nelson."
