The Bathtub Test
 
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the
criterion was which defined 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?"
 
DID YOU PASS, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?
