The only person I openly discuss my childhood IQ with is my older sister who came in just below me. I enjoy that quite a bit, but as you yourself admit, those numbers mean nothing now.

If you were trying to make a joke why not go for a higher number?

Because that was my number. The joke was not in the number, but in the comment I was responding to. It was supposed to be a bit-self effacing, if anything.

Sorry you did not find it funny.

And they are pointless. I was just trying to make a funny, fwiw.

Right…
If you were trying to make a joke why not go for a higher number? Those numbers barely sneak into the bottom levels of genius rating. Mine was tested pretty high as a child too, but I make point of not mentioning the number now because it’s like referencing your sixth grade report card. You are exactly right that testing high as a child is much easier than as an adult.

I enjoy your sense of humor when you employ more wit and less ego.

I’ve tested between 136 and 142.

Chapoutier, with that kind of brainpower, you should be able to bend spoons in Alabama with just a mere thought!

First let’s look back at the last 3 elected dem vp’s.

Mondale arguable the dumbest man of his time.

Followed by algore, who was unquestionably the dumbest man in the senate when he was picked.

Now we have Biden, clearly in a class of his own when considering his mental prowess. Read lack thereof.

Considering these 3 numbskulls made it thru to the VP, it appears their next VP nominee will be made of the same stuff. Not the Right Stuff, just the same stuff.

I submit that honor now falls to Mary Bono Mack.

Anyone who has ever heard this mental giant speak can attest to her taking ol joe bidens place at the bottom of the mental barrel of dems in congress.

I hope I am wrong but history must be considered. And it appears the dems have some sort of round peg in the round hole test for their VP nominees.

Let’s see how this plays out.

Of course I am open to other suggestions concerning who others may consider the latest dumbest dem in congress.

Till then, Mary’s my pick…..

I’ve never taken an IQ test but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Well, shoot, you’ve got us all beat.

It was a joke. I’m sure he’ll get it when he gets around to reading it…

It went over my head. Maybe I need to check and see if I still have an IQ.

I think they do tend to go down as you get older.

I’ve sometimes wondered about that. It would be interesting to see how I compare at 50 years of age with my teens and early twenties.

I had no trouble understanding his meaning. What’s your problem?
