During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the director what the criteria is that defines if a patient should be admitted.
“Well,” said the director, “we fill up a bathtub. Then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub. Okay, here’s your test: Would you use the spoon, the teacup or the bucket?”
“Oh, I understand,” said the visitor. “A normal person would choose the bucket, as it is larger than the spoon.”
What was the director’s response?
Answer
“No,” said the director. “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window or over near the heater?”
