The bathtub test...

During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the director how they determined 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. Would you like a bed near the window?"..
