Captain Cook 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."
