A piece is all he’s got…

Piece??? You are as dumb as a rock, Eno!!!

Careful with how much mind you give them Eno.

Not an influencer.

Back in school, I scored so high on an IQ test that MENSA was bugging me to join. No thanks. If you ever meet a MENSA member, the first thing you’ll find out is that they’re a MENSA member. “Hi, nice to meet you. I’m smarter than you are.”

I did really well on the GMAT so they sent me an invitation to join but I decided that it wasn’t really something I wanted to do. My brother in law decided he wanted the prestige of being able to claim MENSA membership so took the test, got in and said it was the worst group meeting he had ever went to. Everybody was standing around impressing each other how smart they are. I told him that’s why I didn’t join.I have never been impressed with “elitist” of any type. Never joined a country club neither. My B-I-L also joined country club. That one he liked. Now I did join the American Legion. That’s the only group (that and VFW though I didn’t join that one (qualified but figured one was enough)) that I am good with being associated with.

At my age, I’ve finally have my brain cells down to a manageable level.

Just write: I don’t wanna join your stupid ol’ club anyway. So there!

“They shoulda given me a yuge bump of 89 IQ points for stability! THIS ELECTION WAS RIGGED! I HATE MENSA!”

poopy heads… that’ll show ’em!

You don’t have it to give.

He spoke his mind. And it took up all of one very angry Post-It.

In terms of vocabulary, it looks as if he’s given them his whole mind, such as it is.

I tried to join MENSA. When I didn’t get the application back for over 3 weeks, I was starting to feel optimistic, until I found an explanation note that explained that it took them that long to stop laughing long enough to be able to see to address the return envelope.

Plenty of people here bragging about how smart they are. Too smart to join Mensa.
