It doesn’t hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time. This little test should help you get started.

During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria is that defines if a patient should be institutionalised.

“Well,” said the Director, “we fill up a bathtub. Then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub.”

Okay, here’s your test:

  1. Would you use the spoon?
  2. Would you use the teacup?
  3. Would you use the bucket?

Please substantiate your answer, so we can get a better feel on the workings of you brain.
