A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a party and his host Banta naturally broached the subject in which the doctor was most at ease Would you mind telling me Doctor Banta asked how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal? Nothing is easier he replied You ask him a simple question which everyone should answer with no trouble If he 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? Banta thought for 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
