                The   Bathtub Test                                           
                During  a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether  or not an older person 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 person to empty the  bathtub."



                "Oh,  I understand," I said. "A normal person would use t he
                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?"
