During a visit to a mental institution, a visitor asked the Director, " What is the criteria you use to determine which defines whether a patient is to be institutionalised?"
The Director replied, " We fill a bathtub full of water, we then offer the patient a teaspoon, a tea cup and a bucket and ask them to empty the bath."
"Depending on how they empty the bath, we then make a decision as to their mental well being or not."
Scroll down for the answer.
"Oh I understand." said the visitor, " I'd think a normal person would use the bucket as it'd empty the bath quicker than the other two."
"Nooooooooooooo" answered the Director, " A normal person would pull the plug out"
