One question I ask cognitively impaired patients to test their knowledge of current events is who the vice president is. You'd be surprised how infrequently people know the answer.
Me: "Who is the vice president?"
Patient: "Nobody knows that!"
Very possibly true. I decided to do a test and see if my older daughter knew the answer to that question.
Me: "Who is the vice president?"
Her: "I don't know."
Me: "His first name is Joe."
Her: "What letter does his last name start with?"
Me: "B."
Her: "Bob?"
No, our vice president's name is not Joe Bob.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus?
ReplyDeleteNow, had she inserted an extra 'O' in Bob she might have been closer to reality...
ReplyDeletehaha true
DeleteNo, Anon 7:45am, that was the name of our prior president.
ReplyDeleteI always buy a box of cookies from the Girl Scouts outside Goofmart. If they can tell me who the VP is without phoning a friend or googling it I'll buy a second.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your daughter has some hidden Arkansas roots!
ReplyDeleteJoe B. Hard?

His middle name is Robinette, so maybe he could go by Joe Bob.
