The Bathtub Test

[dgridley]

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this
should help get you started. During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor
asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a
patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub and 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," said the visitor. "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. Do you want a
bed near the window?"

It never said I could pull the plug, I would have chose the teaspoon.
You may ask why...

Well you might get more water out with the bucket at first but when the water starts to get low the bucket would be no use and eventually I would win. :D
