Reply #23: I've known 2 Mensans in my time.... [View All]

[Bridget Burke]

One was a bright, fine gentleman. He'd joined Mensa because he'd rid himself of a destructive habit & was looking for interesting, healthy ways to fill his time. He was great company & I trust he's still doing well.

Another was a flaming asshole of the first water. (Am I mixing metaphors?)

Yes, there are many ways of being "smart." And I'm sure many Mensans can pass real world tests, as well as the IQ tests.

Although I did give a pause when Mensa held its convention in Houston a few years ago. In July! I'm sure that was brief lapse....
