Are you getting old?
During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, “How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in a nursing 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,” the doctor replied. “A normal person would pull the plug in the drain. So would you like a bed near the window?”
