During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria 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 tea cup." "No", said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Would you like a bed by the window?"
