My favourite part:
Other candidates should create distractions. One man illustrated proper logic
with this syllogism:
All men are mortal.
Socrates is mortal.
Therefore, Socrates is a man.
I raised my hand. "Birds are mortal too, aren't they?" I asked, hoping he
would correct his error.
"Yes," our teacher agreed.
"So Socrates could be a bird?"
He smiled benignly. "No. Socrates doesn't have feathers."
