 The Bath Tub Test
 
 During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the Director - "how do you determine whether or not 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 him or her to empty the bathtub.'
 
 Please scroll down...........

 'Oh, I understand,' I said. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.'
 
 'No.' said the director, 'A normal person would pull the plug.
 Do you  want a bed near the window?'

| Play gin-rummy tournaments online At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!. 
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!).   The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
