Sanity test.
During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the chief physician how they decided whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
«Well,» said the chief physician, “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.»
«Oh, I understand,” said the visitor.
«A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.»
«No,» said the chief physician, «A normal person would pull the spillway plug.
So do you want a bed by the wall or near the window?»

Проверка на вменяемость.
Во время посещения психиатрической лечебницы один из посетителей спросил гоавврача, как они решают, следует ли пациента госпитализировать.
«Ну, — сказал главврач, — мы наполняем ванну; затем предлагаем пациенту чайную ложку, чашку и ведро и просим его опорожнить ванну».
«О, я понимаю», — сказал посетитель.
«Нормальный человек воспользуется ведром, потому что оно больше, чем ложка или чашка».
«Нет, — сказал главврач, — нормальный человек вытащил бы пробку из сливного отверстия.
Так вы хотите кровать у стены или у окна?»
