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."

1. Would you use the spoon?

2. Would you use the teacup?

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."

"No," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug."

Actually if I was told only to do it with those three choices I wouldn't pull the plug because he didn't specify that I could do it any other way. Otherwise I totally would. I am insane.
