Two weeks ago, I took the membership application test for MENSA.

Today, I got a letter saying that my score made the percentile and I'm
qualified for membership. I just sent off my dues tonight.

I'm still trying to catch my breath!

Oh, so you think you're so smart, do you?

On second thought, I guess you are; congratulations!

Congratulations on qualifying.

Condolences if you find out your local bunch is typical for MENSA.

The running joke in Mensa is "The only thing we can agree upon is when
to hold the next meeting."

Besides, the main reason I wanted membership was for the discounts for
the brainy gear stores.

I just remembered - The Mensa people were holding their convention in
Pittsburgh the same weekend we were there in July. Several of them
came over to gawk at us in the big hanging-out ballroom (The Zoo) in
the main hotel. I went with them back to their hotel to look around:
lots of giant, Susan Alexander Kane-sized jigsaw puzzles & board games
in their ballroom, that was about it. I'd say we furs were having a
lot more fun than the Mensas that weekend...

Imagine if the MENSA and AC reservations had gotten mixed up in the
computer -- what hilarious mistaken-identity mishaps might have
ensued!

(Actually I'm thinking of that 'South Park' episode where the sex
perverts' organisation happens to share the same acronym as the Marlon
Brando fan club... ;-)
