ask questions twice in quick succession, forwards then backwards. you should get a forwards then backwards answer and these answers should be complementary. if the answers are the same, if you get no answer or feel physiological changes inside the person as they answer, there is a problem.

Nice bloke, married, bit of a demon darts player.

Don’t tell me you haven’t got a subject–every human life is a million stories.

Thank God life ends–we’d never survive it.
