room with a view
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During a visit to a mental hospital, a visitor, talking to the director asked what was the criteria which defined whether or not a person should be institutionalised.
"Well", said the director. "We fill 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 is bigger than the spoon or teacup".
"No" said the director, "A normal person would pull the plug.
Do you want a room with or without a view?"
