It doesn’t hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time. This little test should help you get started.
During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria was that defined if 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 the patient to empty the bathtub.”
“Okay, here’s your test:
- Would you use the spoon?
- Would you use the teacup?
- Would you use the bucket?”
“Oh, I understand,” said the visitor, “A normal person would choose the bucket, as it is larger than the spoon.”
What was the director’s response?
Answer
“No,” answered the Director, “A normal person would pull the plug.”
So, how did YOU do?
