English Original
During a visit to a mental institution, a visitor asked the Director what criterion determined whether a patient should be admitted.
"Well," said the Director, "we fill a bathtub with water, then offer the patient a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket. We ask them to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's the largest."
"No," replied the Director. "A normal person would pull the drain plug. Would you like a bed near the window?"
中文翻译
有人参观一所精神病院时，问院长决定病人是否应收治入院的标准是什么。
院长说：“是这样，我们把浴缸放满水，然后给病人一把茶匙、一个茶杯和一个水桶，要求他们把浴缸清空。”
访客说：“哦，我明白了。正常人会用桶，因为桶最大。”
院长回答：“不对。正常人会拔掉排水塞。你想要一张靠窗的床位吗？”
