Please, Just a little humor!

A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. Ms. Pelosi took the
opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with 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. '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?' asked Pelosi.

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

Pelosi thought 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.'

A friend sent this to me in an e-mail.

Just a effort at humor this afternoon;
