'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,' I said. '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. Do you want
a bed near the window?'
