I asked the director of a psychiatric ward how they know for sure if someone is mentally unstable and needs to be committed. He explained their method: they go to a bathroom and fill a bathtub to the top.
They then give the patient a big bucket and a small spoon and ask them to empty the tub.
“Ah,” I replied, “so the normal person chooses the bucket because it’s larger, right?” The director disagreed: “No, a normal person would simply pull the drain stopper.” And added, “By the way, is a room with a garden view ok for you?”
