    His face is pretty funny at 1:14, because of how much he must have to put up with that question. It would be funny to compile a collection of essays that show all the different ways he has responded to this question. You know, like meandering essays that are funny but actually have some sort of lesson behind them, like he is able to do. Also, I don't get her follow up.

    Yeah he looks like he's trying to be polite but thinking "Come on get to question already"😁

    she wasn't being a snob. she was trying to match the level of his wit, rather unsuccessfully. she was trying to be funny. I'm an aussie and i know woman like her, they try to be amusing and people think they're being rather odd.

    Ms Davidson, get over yourself! You may have been the first female president of a press club, but by watching this, I can understand why you are also the former president. What did you hope to achieve with these questions? You may have taken umbrage with his pronunciation of names, but I'm sure that if you were to say the name of his home town, you would say it wrong. Mr Adams was speaking passionately about science and conservation, not about his books.
