Normal Person !

During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in a care home?"
"Well,"  he said, "we fill up a bathtub with water. Then we offer a teaspoon, a  teacup and a bucket to the person, and tell 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?"
