The Bathtub Test


During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine
whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"


"Well," he said, "We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a
teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."


"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket
because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."


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