Retiree Bathtub Test
>
> 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?"
