The Mental Asylum
A patient asks a psychiatrist how exactly they choose who gets admitted to the asylum.
Psychiatrist: "We carry out a simple test. We fill a bathtub to the brim with water, and give the patient a spoon, a cup, and a bucket. We then ask them to empty the bath."
Patient: "Ah, so if you're sane, you choose the bucket"
