A Blonde Gathering
A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a blonde gathering, 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 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 blonde 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."
