Do You Need To Be Committed?

During  a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor 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,' 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.
Do you want a bed near the window?'
