THE BATHTUB TEST

During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the director how do you determine 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," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because its bigger than the spoon of the teacup."

"No," said the director. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

    1. And it also translates well as a great OCS screening exam.
