Should I Be In A Home ?
« on: July 25, 2010, 19:18:55 PM »
During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an old person should be put in a care 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?"

:D ;):D

I found that highly amusing - perhaps I need a bed near the window :-\

Perhaps another test could be whether or not you can correctly use the "Reply with Quote" function on here ;).

Will do.

I think I do well as I cut down  big posts to the bit I am replying to.
