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.'
'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 bathtub plug. Do you want a bed near a window
or near the door?'
