The classic case was an adult Ted Kennedy not able to figure out how to pull shopping carts apart because he had never seen them before.
Do you have a source on that? It sounds like classic urban legend to me. In fact it sounds like a variation on the urban legend about George H.W. Bush being amazed because he'd never seen a bar scanner before (http://www.snopes.com/history/american/bushscan.asp http://www.snopes.com/history/american/bushscan.asp).

- gruseom 17y agoHuh? That page contains nothing at all about Kennedy supposedly not knowing how to pull shopping carts apart. (What it is is an anecdote of Ted Kennedy being boorish. But there has never been a shortage in that department, and it's not what was at issue here.)
