THE BATHTUB TEST . . .
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
criterion was used to define 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," 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. Would you prefer a bed near the window or the door?"
Darn, and I got it wrong too...
