ARE YOU INSANE? Please take the bathtub test -----> Just for fun!

The Bathtub Test

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started.

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what criteria was used to decide whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

(PAUSE HERE TO THINK >>>>>
Then scroll down...)














"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."


(PAUSE HERE TO THINK>>>>>
Then scroll down...)












"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"


SO, DID YOU PASS, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?

1. What happened? Are you afraid to take the test? It's not even a
real test, just a joke!

8. Sorry to hear that, Belladonna. But you won't remember, because
belladonna is an amnesiac drug.... Maybe it's related to curare, which they used to give before shock treatments in the old hospital days. Curare immobilized the muscles and it the poison they put on the end of arrows in South American tribes.

Little tidbits from the nuthouse.

Goodbye for a minute....
