The Crisis in Irish Education

Exemplified by the following.

Me (during game of Trivial Pursuit with the in-laws yesterday): "Which Muslim leader did Abu Bakr succeed in 632 A.D.?"

Niece studying Medicine at the College of Surgeons: "Moses."

Later the same game.

Me: What are taurophobic matadors afraid of?

Same niece: "Mats . . . No, Tories."

No alcohol had been imbibed at this point.
