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.'

'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?'
(The visitor became the next patient! Waaaa!)

I bought her a scale. And then the fight started... *********** My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion. I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, ' Do you know her?' 'Yes, ' I sighed, ' She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' says my wife, ' who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And then the fight started... ********* I took my wife to a restaurant. T...

Addition

Peter's wife bought a new line of expensive cosmetics when she heard that they would make her look years younger. After applying the products, she asked her husband: "Darling, tell me honestly. What age would you say I am?" Looking her over carefully, Peter replied: "Let me see. Judging by your skin, 20; your hair 18; and your figure, 25." "Oh you flatterer, she gushed in delight." "No wait, Peter replied. I have not added them up yet!" (Source: Reader's Digest, Vol.81.No.482, May 2003 edition)
