Sanity Test

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director,  "Whatis the criterion that defines a patient to be institutionalized?"


"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offera teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient toempty 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 wouldchoose the bucket as it is larger than the spoon or the teacup."


"Noooooo," answered the Director. "A normal person wouldpull the  plug
."
