During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine
whether or not an older person should be put in a Nursing 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 the
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?"
