Entrance exam Munruben University
John's next door neighbour was undertaking an
oral examination for entry into the Munruben University.
The question: "Captain Cook made three trips to the
Pole and died during one of them. Which one was it?"
John's neighbour replied, "Could you give me another
question. I am not very good at History?"

Dying the first time would have saved a lot of trouble.

Munruban Uni is a great Uni vast open tracts to while away the study hours the only sound you'll hear is that of a new table saw getting its daily work out.

Daft blokes!
The answer is similar to why what you are looking for is in the last place you look. You just don't look anymore after that.
I don't know if I should be pedantic about the correctness of the question. As historians you all make good woodworkers.anne-maria.

I think it had something to do with a bunch of angry natives, and what he left behind the last time he visited. ( or rather, the time before the last time he visited.)
