THE BATHTUB TEST

During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the director how do
you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

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

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

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

Hi MM.

Must admit i did find that rather funny.

It does prove one point though. When you take the bucket and think it is the right thing to do, always look for a better option as there often is one. Me, i would take the spoon as i do like a good soak!

Happy new year to all and sundry.

            Bob.

Hi Bob

I always suspected that you were an old soak!

¡Feliz año to both you and Pauline!

Best wishes from Sue and John.

It is so nice that you all have each other close at hand to help you get through the bad times and share the good .Enjoy your soak and please avoid the lift !!!!!!  It sounds a little dangerous especially if the temperature drops .Hope you all have the best year ever . MM .

We have tried the spoon the cup and the bucket perhaps it is time to get together and pull the plug ! I am trying to pull it out all by myself but it's a slippery little fu##er ! MM
