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 a mental asylum, a
visitor asked the Director what the criterion
was which defined 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 like a bed near a window?"
