> 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, 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?"

>
