No. 8 fits RHP



The Washington Post's Mensa invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

Here are the winners:

*1. Cashtration *(n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

*2. Ignoranus* (n.): A person who's both stupid and an askhole.

*3. Intaxication *(n.): Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

*4. Reintarnation* (n.): Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

*5. Bozone *(n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

*6. Foreploy* (n.): Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

*7. Giraffiti* (n.): Vandalism spray-painted very,very high.

*8. Sarchasm *(n.): The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the Person who doesn't get it.

So what? He may even qualify, considering that I am a member.

Just for information, to qualify one has to reach a score of 130 in a socalled "Intelligence Test", which consist of questions on different aspects of intellectual gifts.

A high IQ is not correlated to

* social skills. (this contribution may serve as an example)
* success (a lot of geniuses end poor)
* ability to play chess or any other game
* good marks at school /university/whereever

* good marks at school /university/whereever
It correlates sometimes but in a very paradoxical way. 😛

Correction of my earlier post:

* IQ rating does not correlate directly proportional to success at school or university.

Anybody here remember Victor Borge's inflationary english?
"I was one and a half way through the door, when the Luelevenint came through also and and said, you have three of the most beautiful eyes I ever saw"
When our fivefathers started this country, the times were very bad, there were three times too many one and a halfasss politicians around....

BTW, I went to a Mensa party given by eD pUGSLEY, (thats how he made his nametag, I liked him, he was one of the least pretentious ones there, but I couldn't find the Mensa room, had to pee on a rock..

I guess that was an asaten thing to say, eh🙂
