There was a similar one of many years ago:
This guy was driving along a fence by an asylum when he had a flat tire. So
he pulled over to put on the spare. Soon an inmate stopped by the fence to
watch. As he was changing the tire, all the loose lug nuts fell down a
street drain. He was distraught wondering what he was going to do now. The
inmate suggested that he use one lug nut off each of the other wheels and
replace them when he could. The driver said "That's brilliant. If you can
think like that, why are you in the asylum?" The inmate replied, "I'm
insane, not stupid."

ARE YOU READY FOR THE ASYLUM?
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director, "What
is the criterion that defines a patient to be institutionalized?"
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offer a teaspoon, a
teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the
bathtub."
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."
"Noooooo," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug."
(You are not required to tell anyone how you did on this test)
