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!)
