The Touch 文之触摸

This is where words are bound by soul. 

在心灵的牵动下,文字的袅袅舞姿,尽在其中自我陶醉。散文、诗词、故事,点缀人生的平凡、弥补生活的萧索。

Joke: Cup, Bucket and Pail

A normal-minded man visited the psycho ward one day. He met with the administrator of the ward. So, he asked the admin how they judged the severity of the mental illness of their patient. 

The admin said, "We will put a cup, a bucket and a pail beside a water-filled bathtub. Then we asked the person to remove the water from the tub as fast as possible."

"Oh, I got it. So, for a normal person, definitely he will go for the pail, right?" The person asked.

"No. A normal person will just pull the plug and let the water drain. I will go prepare you a room in the ward."

*For those who couldn't get the joke, the plug is the black thing that you will stuff into the sink hole to prevent water from draining. If you still don't get it, you really have lost one of your most vital senses: the sense of humour.*
