The Bathtub Test
During a visit to the mental hospital, a visitor asked the Director what criterion defined 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."
"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 Director, "A normal person would pull the drain plug. "Do you want a bed near a window?"

I enjoy reading whatever you post. Don't worry too much about not posting a lot. You have a full life, a husband and two kids. You must devote most of you time to them. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I guess asking for a straw is the wrong answer, eh?
