Words from the SoapBox

A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF REPRESENTATION WE HAVE IN CONGRESS:

(You may fill in the blanks with the name of most any member of our current crop.)

A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where a congressional leader happened to appear. The Congressional member 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,’ _______ 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 _______.

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

_______ 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.’
