Woman says, "These two say they're a couple of renaissance men." Woman 2 says, "That's right, if they mean they're about five hundred years behind the times!"
Little Sharper U – You had best resign yourself to your wit going hopelessly over the heads of your audience, causing them to become annoyed with you. (That includes me, and I’m a former member of Mensa.)
Or, of course, you could simply come down to earth and mingle with us hoi polloi on our own terms. Your call.
SCAATY You WERE a member of MENSA? I AM a member of DENSA, a society of humans with an IQ below 62. You have to be tested by a licenced shrink (both my parents are and were proud to admit my mental deficiencies). Speaking of proud, you should see the plaque on my office wall that proclaims I should not be left alone for more the 30 seconds. And think, in 2 months my vote counts the same as yours.
Lewreader – DENSA? I love it! (But from what I’ve seen of you here, forgive me if I disbelieve you.)
Yeah, I qualified for Mensa based on my SAT scores back in the day – went to a few local meetings, and realized that they seemed to be a group of folks who thought that being in the top two percent of the population based on a test qualified them to tell mankind in general what was what. Full of themselves…and I had nothing in common with them except for that one factoid. So I dropped it. No loss to them or me, I suppose.
Oh, I’m guessing that all of LSU’s post makes sense – he/she’s simply more interested in being arcanely clever than in actually communicating with other people as equals.
i would’ve qualified by my sat scores, but i knew those guys from high school
i’m lowbrow, but i still like classical music and art, also punk rock metal, and looney tunes

I get the “Allen Bradley” part of Sharpie’s otherwise meaningless post.

For some people, being in Milwaukee unhinges the mind.
