During a visit to a mental asylum I asked the director how do you determine wether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
"Well", said the director, "We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a cup and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said, "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the teaspoon and cup."
"No", said the director, "A normal person would pull the drain plug." "Do you want a bed near a window?"
