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?"
