I hope this is a forgivable divergence in the area of trick questions. In the context of national political conventiion reception room debates I have often been asked , " In what faculty do you teach ?". Although I can handle myself well in debate with professors and cabinet ministers , my academic achievement ended in grade seven. The first few times this came up I perceived it as an extremely complimentary legitamate question. It has now come up so often that I perceive it as a gentle insult in an otherwise freindly çonversation. Do you think the questioners are asking a legitamate question borne of their perceptiion of me or is this a gentle insult intended to convey their belief that I am talking down to them ? Several professors have also asked this question. It has become a conversation killer for me because I perceive it as either an insult or complaint if it comes from anyone other than a professor.
