    I'm going to post a riddle on Thursdays and see how many of you can get the right answer.  I'll post the answer on Sundays.  GOOD LUCK! 

    During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria is that defines if a patient should be institutionalized.

    "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub. Then 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:
    1. Would you use the spoon?
    2. Would you use the teacup?
    3. Would you use the bucket?

    "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the bucket, as it is larger than the spoon or the teacup."

    What was the director's response?

    Using any of the tools I have to ask, "where would you put the water?" Personally I would open the drain.

    I'll Help HDB out..............

    A man is in a room and the door is locked so he can't get out. He has with him a piano, a calander, and a bed. How does he eat drink and get out?

    He uses the dates from the calendar to eat, the springs from the bed to drink and the keys from the piano to get out.

    Here is this weeks....Good Luck!


    I drift forever with the current
    Down these long canals they've made
    Tame, yet wild, I run elusive
    Multitasking to your aid.
    Before I came, the world was darker
    Colder, sometimes, rougher, true
    But though I might make living easy,
    I'm good at killing people too.
