	A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function
where 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.'
