When writing an article about a local mental institution I had a chance to talk to the director.
"How do you determine whether a patient is actually crazy or not?" I asked.
"Well", he replied. "We show the patient a filled bathtub and present him with a spoon, a ladle and a bucket and ask them to empty the tub".
"Oh", I said. "so crazy people pick the spoon and sane people choose the bucket, right?"
"No", said the Dr. "Sane people pull the plug. Would you care for a bed near the window?"
