Tim tells you that the best way to make friends is by opening the conversation with a joke. He can easily recall all the friends he met by telling a joke and also the times he opened with chitchat and didn't befriend the person. If you were concerned that Tim was making the "present bias", what would you ask him?

Do you really think that's a good strategy?

Explanation:

I would ask him this question with a rhetorical tone, because obviously this way of opening conversations is not always good, there's a lot of people that are too serious, jokes for them are disrespectful. Even more, if years pass and he get into a higher society level, this kind of jokes could be seen as immature.
