The Revenoor, a most discerning and astute gentleman from out west, sent
this one on the subject of Mensa...

Last year, there was a Mensa convention in San Francisco. Mensa, as you
know, is a national organization for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher.

Several of the Mensa members went out for lunch at a local cafe.

When they sat down, one of them discovered that their salt shaker contained
pepper, and their pepper shaker was full of salt. How could they swap the
contents of the two bottles without spilling any, and using only the implements
at hand? Clearly -- this was a job for Mensa minds.

The group debated the problem and presented ideas and finally, came up with
a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer. They
called the waitress over, ready to dazzle her with their solution.

"Ma'am," they said," we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker here
contains salt and the salt shaker contains pepper."

But before they could finish ... the waitress interrupted. "Oh -- sorry about that."

She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them.

There was dead silence at the Mensa table.

Kinda reminds ya of the government, doesn't it? Solutions to our problems should
be so simple, but the brilliant minds in Washington always seem to make them so
difficult. (Typical)
