Which would you use?

During a visit to a mental asylum, a man 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,' he said. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.'

(Which one would you use......?)

'No' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?' ? Shocked

). You sure did brightened my evening, thanks. Nice cheerful ending to a crummy day.

Well, first I'd slug the Director in his mouth, then I'd toss him in the tub, use the bucket to pour water on his head; use the spoon to ram down his throat and then, make myself a nice hot cup of green tea and drink it out of the teacup. I'd then explain to him that I think people who throw trick questions at us should be burned at the stake.........

Oooooh, I've got issues huh?
looking for my Paxil...

I needed a laugh too -- I am all alone tonight, my family went on vacation -- a week alone with a pouting rottweiller and slobbering mastiff to attend to. BTW I would take the bed by the window!
