During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, “How do you determine
whether or not a retiree should be put in an old age home?”
“Well,” he said, “we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the retiree and ask him or her 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?”
