Bathtub Test

This one's from Yochanan.

During a visit to the mental asylum, 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?"
