The Bathtub Test.


The Bathtub Test.

During a visit to a mental asylum, I asked the director
"How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?"


"Well", replied the director, "We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask them which one they want to empty the bathtub with"


"Oh, I see, So a normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the tea cup" I replied


"No", said the director, "A normal person would pull the plug, Would you like your bed near the window?"

If this made you smile, pass it on :-)

"ask them which one they want to empty the bathtub with"
Directly implies the choices are ONLY the spoon, cup or bucket.

That's a completely different question to "how would they empty the bathtub" of which the answer would of course be pulling the plug.
