The bathtub test

[Stewie Simpson]

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 to empty the bathtub."


"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the
bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

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

[Brian Tymchak]

Ha! Good one. I suspect there will be some pretty young people in that old age home.

[Tim Janssen]

I want a bed near the window!

That's a ripper, Stewie! Cheers

[Rich Riddle]

Stewie, how old are you?

Hey Stewie, since you're moving to a smaller place, you want to sell any of those beautiful custom made tools, cheap? You cant take them along, so you might as well send them to a good home! :D:D:D

This is along the same line but a bit different. And it's a true story.

A friend of mine had some health problems and was being evaluated for metal acuity. The nurse asked him to draw a clock which showed the time as "a quarter to 3". I suppose a person with mental confusion would have trouble figuring that out.

He took a pencil and drew a rectangular box with the numbers "02:45".

He drew a digital clock.

He passed.

That's pretty good Mike. Will they be giving you that test yearly, now? ;)

[Rick Moyer]

Mike, at least he didn't ask "am or pm"?

[Kevin Womer]

That's a good one Stewie!
