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….. Do you want a bed near the window?”
