THE BATHTUB TEST
While visiting a mental asylum, I asked the Director what defined whether or not a
patient should be institutionalized.
Director: 'Well, we do a little test. We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him/her to empty the bathtub.'
Me: 'Oh, I see. A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than a spoon or cup.'
Director: 'No, a normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?'
