During a visit to the mental hospital, a visitor asked the Director
what the criterion was which defined 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?"
