The bathtub test

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?'

 

 

 

 DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?

Miss Mary,

I guess I need to get me a bed in that place too, cuz I sure thought about using the bucket not that darn plug...lol!

Love ya!
