+ Medical Joke
A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a gathering of humor editors, and his
host naturally broached the subject in which the doctor was most at ease.

"Would you mind telling me, Doctor," he 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?'"

The editor 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."
