which is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized.
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, 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:

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose
the bucket as it is larger than the spoon."

"No," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug."
So how did *you* do?
