True story, mepal? It sounds like a recycled blonde joke.
A similar “true” story – Pelosi asked the head of a psychiatric ward how he evaluates incoming patients to see if they are sane or insane. He replied that he takes them to a bathtub and fills it up. Then he offers the patient a thimble, a spoon, and a bucket, and asks them to empty the tub. “Oh I get it,” said Pelosi, “The sane person would choose the bucket, because it is the biggest.”
“No,” replied the doctor, “The sane person would pull out the drain stopper. Now, would you like a bed by the window?”
