    The Bathtub Test

    During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how do
    you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

    "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."



    (keep going)







    "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?"


    ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE ?
  • Bill Major
