I have been trying to convince my wife of that fact for the last 29 years. I just finished David Lieberman's book; "Find Out Who's Normal and Who's Not", and though I was worried at first I can say with a straight face that I am fairly normal. My wife I am sure, might still argue. So what is normal? How do you know if the guy living next door is at least somewhat sane? How about your son-in-law? Is he a psycho? Yikes! In this book, Lieberman teaches you how to become what he calls a conversational archaeologist; someone who through some questions and techniques, may be able to build a relatively accurate psychological profile of just about anyone, though you must be able to converse with the suspect. You cannot simply use the "stink eye" for your judgments as we are all tend to do from time to time. This book was an entertaining read and perhaps useful if you are able to remember the questions that you are supposed to ask. My problem is that I would have to carry a cheat sheet and I would give myself away as I went into Detective Joe Friday mode."Just the facts Ma'am". Maybe I could just shine a flashlight in people's face and poke them in the chest while asking if they're normal.
