the mental asylum

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined 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 just pull the plug.”
