A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic
function where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. Ms Pelosi took the opportunity
to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with which he was
most at ease.
'Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you
detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?'
'Nothing is easier,' he replied. 'You ask a simple question
which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts
you on the track.'
'What sort of question?' asked Pelosi.
Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around
the world and died during one of them. Which one?''
Pelosi thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh,
'You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don't
know much about history..'
