I work in a recovery room

The question I ask patients to assess their level of conciousness and orientation is place, date, and the POTUS.

About 70% of the answers to the POTUS question are something like "that goddamn george bush" or "George Bush, unfortunately"

Bwahaha

1. So, if someone says Al Gore, do you assume they're oriented?

But if I get the typical response, I tell they're extra-specially oriented to person.

15. Rumour had it they gave up asking who the British PM was

for 18 years; first it was so embedded in people's subconscious that even people about to slip into a coma would say 'Maggie Thatcher'; then when John Major took over, he was so unknown that it counted as a difficult quiz question.
