The Bathtub Test
During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the Director how do you determine 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. Do you want a bed near the window?'

The doctor has other things on his mind....beware...lol
The Director of the mental asylum finally agreed that you should be admitted here as well! :)
Hello there! i understand,the Director was testing you as well,and wanted to determine whether this person is sane or not! you obviously gave the wrong answer so that prompted him to further ask you whether you wanted a bed near a window! (No offence meant!)
