knees2you -> Bathtub test (5/28/2005 7:11:56 PM)
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub; we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub" Okay, here's your test: (Those with an abnormal tendency will scroll to the bottom to get the answer before even taking this test!) 1. Would you use the spoon?[&:] or 2. Would you use the teacup?[:(] or 3. Would you use the bucket?[:D] "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the bucket as it is larger than the spoon or the cup." Think of Your answer~ Scroll down~ * * * * * * * * * * * "Noooooo," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug.[:D] (You are not required to tell anyone how you did on this test.) Tell me if You failed the test?? Be Honest.[:)] Sincerely, Ant

When I get as far as gonna do a bath as opposed to a shower, I am gonna get some candles, some MrBubby, my Betty Boop Bathmat and some hot cocoa or a bottle of champagne....I choose the spoon, takes some time to decant the bath with that........ call me crazy............ Ron

sub4hire -> RE: Bathtub test (5/29/2005 9:57:45 PM)
I said pull the plug to...but only because I've been spending too much time playing scrabble lately. Seems to jog the mind somehow. Ordinarily I don't know how I would have chosen...I'd like to say I'd chosen pull the plug.

Estring -> RE: Bathtub test (5/29/2005 11:27:36 PM)
I take showers.

CalliopePurple -> RE: Bathtub test (5/30/2005 6:58:59 PM)
I passed...but I know I'm at least a little crazy anyway. Speaking of that, I don't think I've taken my meds tonight. Wanders off to do just that.

FelinePersuasion -> RE: Bathtub test (5/30/2005 9:56:37 PM)
Bubble baths can tend to give women yeast infections and are frowned apon by most gynocologists. I picked bucket lol I guess I need to go to the assylum but make sure my dr prescribes in the theory of theraputic spankings and alla that.

MadameDahlia -> RE: Bathtub test (5/31/2005 12:47:14 AM)
I picked spoon... But only because when I'm really bored certain things sound like an awful lot of fun. However if I could find several tea bags... like green tea hopefully... I'd use the tea cup until the water went cold.

Sunngodezz -> RE: Bathtub test (5/31/2005 9:29:41 AM)
I said pull the plug. That doesn't mean I am not crazy, it means I am a mom who at 7:45 every other night has to ask the nekkid kid running around....Did you pick up your toys and pull the plug? (and I swear half the time the answer is "oopsy! bare ass slipping back into the bathroom")[:D] But I am not worried, if this test doesn't send me to the funny farm that kid will think of some other way [;)]

Drue -> RE: Bathtub test (7/19/2005 6:41:18 AM)
I pulled the plug.

imtempting -> RE: Bathtub test (7/19/2005 7:09:27 AM)
I choose the bucket but then I was only given three choices. Logically pull the plug but it was not an option and what happens if it did not have a plug hey? Those people would be a new form of insanity.

Those people would be a new form of insanity. Using modern indoor plumbing, it is quite impossible to not have the implied 4th option; that of either pulling the plug (archaic bathtub) or moving the little chrome or porcelain lever that activates the stopper or valve to drain the bath tub. Some of us were raised in part with old tin tubs. The #2 galvanized washtub that was offered in the Sears, Roebuck and Company mailorder catalog comes to mind as one of these. The water was often heated on a wood-burning stove and poured into the tub for use. Since the water often came from a well or a stream, and had to be either drawn off or drawn up, the term 'Draw a bath" was common useage. These older galvanized tubs had no handy-dandy drain with a cork in it, so your decision to empty the washtub or bath tub with a bucket makes sense. In this fashion, the weight of the bath is reduced until one can manage to heft the tub to carry it outside and dump it, or with help, convey it outside to either water the weeds or kill the crops. As a useless trivial side-bar, it became customary for the women to use the bathwater first, since too many young female persons became pregnant through no fault of their own when they followed male relatives into the cleaning solution. Perhaps this is the origin of the concept of "Ladies First." Then again, I could be completely off base with this, in which case, I will pull the plug on this post before I completely lose my mind and get a free trip to the Funny Farm (HaHa HoHo, HeeHee, HaHa) Edited to correct "dum" to "dump." There is a difference, yes? (ala Dragnet Theme: "Dum Da Dum Dum")

It was taught to my class by a psychology professor who had done a lot of volunteer work and a doctoral thesis on the social structure of the 'Hollers' and 'Cricks' in Appalachia. I will look for some references in my books, notes and on the net and post such if there is interest. C/
