Pick a card...

If you've followed this blog for any length of time (Oh, come on, there must be some of you!) you will know I have a penchant for logic puzzles.  So here's another one - 
I place three cards face down on the table in a line.  Two are aces, the third is a jack.  I know which is which.  Your job is to find an ace.  To do this, you are allowed to point to one of the cards and ask me one yes/no question.  If you are pointing to an ace, I will answer truthfully.  If you are pointing to the jack, I will answer yes or no completely at random - so I could be telling the truth, or I could be lying. Can it be done?  Answer tomorrow.
