A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a chic gathering and his hostess naturally broached the subject in 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 I ask him a simple question which everyone should answer with no trouble at all If he hesitates that tells me just what I need to know What sort of question? Well I might ask him Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them Which one? The hostess thought for 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
