During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the
criterion was which defined whether a patient should be institutionalized.
Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, and 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," said the visitor. "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?"
