A noted psychiatrist was a guest at an academic function,  
and his hostess naturally broached the subject in which  
the doctor 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?"  

"Well, you might ask him, 'Captain Cook made three trips  
around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'"  

The hostess thought a moment, 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."

The amusing thing is, I bet quite a lot of Zoner's will read that question and not get the answer! lmao.

Hmmm, I'm not mentally deficient according to this. I don't think that psychiatrist knew what he was talking about.

Now Becky, let's not jump to any rash decisions here.

I wonder if I can google that.

Thanks Nem.
