Sometimes I pretend to be normal
(Mensa, as you know, is a national organization for people who have an IQ of
140 or higher.)
Several of the Mensa members went out for lunch at a local café. When they
sat down, one of them discovered that the salt shaker contained pepper & the
pepper shaker was full of salt.
How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any &
using only the implements at hand? Clearly this was a job for Mensa minds.
The group debated the problem, presented ideas & finally came up with a
brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw & an empty saucer.
They called the waitress over, ready to dazzle her with their solution.
"Miss," they said, "We couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker
contains salt & the salt shaker…. “
but before they could finish, the waitress interrupted, "Oh! sorry about
that."
She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles & switched
them.
There was dead silence at the Mensa table.
Kinda reminds ya of the government, doesn't it.
Don't confuse IQ and education with common sense.
