During a visit to my doctor, i asked him "how do you determine wether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"
"Well," he said, "We fill up a bath tub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person and ask them to empty the bathtub"
"Oh, i understand," i said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No" he said "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"
