During a visit to the local old folks home, I 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," I said. "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?
Ummmm?
