Mensa’s a fraud.

Do you mean that
or do you mean:

Mensa is a fraud.

It means you can get to 55 really, really, quickly?

Mostly because of the people I know who belong to Mensa. Some of them are complete idiots.

Also, Christopher Hitchens destroyed them in an essay many years ago. It was hilarious.

Christopher was a self-deprecating anti-semitic inebriate.

Are you saying that “social skills” and sartorial chic are the determinants of intelligence?

BTW, many “retarded people” have their clothes bought for them by others who love them.

Scientology, as a bait to lure you into their offices, offers free IQ tests. Enough said.

Well, that was meant ironically, Mr. Grammar Police.

Yes, I did meet him once when he signed my copy of No One Left to Lie To. He was very nice, very gracious. He was also smoking and drinking out of a vodka bottle. He had style!

Yeah, that IQ thing is OK, I guess. But I don’t really worry about what mine is since I have such a HUGE Johnson......

Well, I hope she has better educational luck than I did. Perhaps her parents can steer her education in the direction it needs to go. I couldn’t get taught the things I desperately wanted to learn.
As for Mensa. I found them to be creepy! They somehow got my IQ test results, and tracked me down, after I’d left home, and gone to another city, in another state, and disappeared into the music scene. I went to their “get together party” and snuck out the door after 20 minutes. Bunch of stuck-up jerks.

... that's what one physics professor told me ..

LOL. That sounds like one of my high-school teachers. His philosophy was that no one was capable of perfect work so he would not give a perfect score. If you aced the exam he would return it with "-1 GP" (general principles) and a grade of 99.
