A elderly man goes into a mental institution

An elderly man goes into a mental institution and talks to the doctor in charge.

He asks the doctor how a patient is actually admitted to the mental institution.

The doctor says, ‘well, we send each patient into a room filled with a bathtub full of water. We then hand each patient a spoon, a ladle and a bucket, and ask them to empty the tub the fastest way possible.’

The man says, ‘oh, I get it, the sane people use the bucket, since it’s the biggest?!’

The doctor replies, ‘no, sane people pull the plug! Would you like a window room with a view?!’
