Why I'm Not In MENSA

Well, for starters, my mother-in-law is allegedly a member of this high IQ group. Secondly, I have trouble deciding what to do when the remote battery dies and I might actually have to get up and manually change channels and/or get batteries. And third, let's face facts, I'm a fucking idiot.

But last Xmas said mother-in-law gave me a MENSA desk calendar. Every day there's a new quiz you can take, and in my case, fail, similar to the sorts of brain ouzzlers MENSA people do for fun. Also, they probably spell "puzzle" without the "o". There's all sorts of math questions having to do with apples, oranges, trains leaving different stations at different speeds and crap like that. Also word puzzles. I suppose they're fun of you're into that sort of thing, and also have a thought capacity greater than that of a mildly deranged hamster. Myself I just skip to the back and find the answer.

Yesterdays was a word scramble with all the vowels taken out. You had to figure out what the well-known proverb was. Since my knowledge of proverbs is roughly equivalant to my knowledge of quantum physics, it was right to the back. The proverb was "One swallow does not make a summer" And I instantly thought,"maybe, but it does make a helluva a good night"
