A good try at faking mental prowess

Actually, both of these are questions on the Alzheimer’s ‘quick screen’.

 I watched this with my father in 2007:

“Who is the president of the United States now?”

(long pause) “That clown”

(me) “Dad, he wants the name of the clown.”

(long pause) “Truman.”


Nice try Dad, especially with George W. Bush as president.
