During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, “How do you determine whether 

or not an older person 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 person 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?”
