                             The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the director how he determines

          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?"
