Mensa Called, They'd Like You To Join Their Janitorial Staff.


The sole purpose of an I.Q. test is to measure intelligence. It does not however help to accurately gauge stupidity. Luckily, there are some simple indicators to help identify our brainless constituents. You don't have to be overly observant, a quick spin around can give you a glimpse at a number of examples. For instance, watching somebody struggle as they push a door that is clearly marked "Pull". Or maybe observing a guy spitting out his gum on the sidewalk, only to step in it thirty seconds later. Or perhaps witnessing a guy walking around with a toilet paper tail. Without question, these are some examples of quintessential stupidity. Sad as it may be, I accomplished all of these marvelously stupid feats before I even sat down at my desk this morning. I'd like to think that you could be intelligent and stupid at the same time, but I'm quickly thinking that that is impossible. I sometimes wonder how I find my way back home after every workday; I'm certainly not smart enough to leave a trail of breadcrumbs.
