11/10/08 Grif.Net – Bathtub Test

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, and 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 a 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?’

[thanks Carol; I think I’d like a window view]
