The Bathtub Test

 

During a visit to a psychiatric unit, a visitor asked the Director how do

you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalised.

 

'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?'

 

Am I safe to say that most of us on here would use the bucket? After all, what a waste of water - it could go on the garden instead!
