When it’s time for an old age home

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?”
