During a visit to the mental asylum1, a visitor asked the Director what is the criterion which defines a patient to be institutionalised.

"Well" said the Director "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon2, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him/her to empty the bathtub".

OK, here's your test:

1. Would you use the teaspoon?
2. Would you use the teacup?
3. Would you use the bucket?

"Oh, I understand" said the visitor "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or teacup".

"No" said the Director, "a normal person would pull the plug! Do you want a room with or without a view?"
