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 the 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. Do you want a bed near the window?"
Take care,
Donna

Wow! After all these years I find out that I am normal. The plug was my first choice too.

I'm not quite sure coming up with the same answer as Jan and myself is makes you normal.
It must be a trick question.

I didn't choose because I thought what kind of idiot doctor would put a patient in the metal ward because he choose one of those choices. Get the strayjacket out I'm ready to go quietly!!!!!!! :sad: Besides that was a trick question, they didn't mention anything about a plug. How do you know that there was a plug, it could have had a washrag stuff in there. :whacky:
I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

awha see there's another solution!!!! Great minds think alike. Chrys, Raymond watches "Cops" all the time too. Sometimes he watches CSI so much I think he's got something up his sleeve. :bg:
