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 out. Do you want a bed near the window?
