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 then ask them to empty the tub."
"Oh, I understand" I said, "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the teacup or spoon."
"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near a window?"
