The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental hospital, I asked the director, "How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalised??"

"Well," said the director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," I said.., "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No." said the director.

"A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"
