The Bathtub Test
During a visit to the mental asylum, I 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," I said. "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?" ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?(And don't act like you thought of the plug!)
