During a visit to the mental asylum, I 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," I said. "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?" http://www.planetgundog.co.uk/forums/4/40/40/_subject_#msg-40 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:23:05 +0000 Phorum 5.2.10 http://www.planetgundog.co.uk/forums/4/40/40/_subject_#msg-40 http://www.planetgundog.co.uk/forums/4/40/40/_subject_#msg-40
