Ask either do you have a nose, the one that always tells the truth has to say yes, the one that always lies has to say no.

The riddle being referenced is an incredibly well known classic riddle. The full riddle is normally left out when jokes are being made about it for brevity, but the actual riddle does not work without the doors.
