    Insanity Test

    During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria is that defines whether a patient should be institutionalized or not.

    "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub with water, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the water out of the tub."

    Okay, here's your test:

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

    "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the

    bucket since it is larger than the teacup or spoon."

    "No," answered the Director.

    "A normal person would pull out the stopper."
