Criteria for institutionalization
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized.
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, 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:How would you empty the bathtub?
1. Would you use the spoon? or
2. Would you use the teacup? or
3. Would you use the bucket?
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the bucket as it is larger than the spoon or the cup."
" Noooooo," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug."
