Bathub test
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?’
Which bed would you prefer?

I’m at least semi-glad he posted it under logic humor, because it took me two full reads before I got it. I like jokes like that. I’ll tell that one in public just to bait the person who always laughs at a joke without getting it (but in a nice way).
