I recently visited a mental asylum and I asked the director, ”how can you know when a person needs to be institutionalized?”<\/p>\n
He said, ”Well, we fill a bathtub with water and we offer them a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket and ask them to empty the tub.”<\/p>\n
I said, ”I see…a normal person would choose the bucket because it is bigger.”<\/p>\n
He responded, ”No. A normal person would pull the plug…would you like a bed by the window?<\/p>\n
