    Yeah, but Jay Leno is not funny.

  2. Nothing more sad than MENSA by Ars-Fartsica · · Score: 1, Troll
    The ultimate collection of smart losers, getting together to form a support group based loosely on the notion that although they have had sand kicked repeatedly in their faces, they will one day rule the earth because they can solve a word puzzle faster than their boss at work.

    No, they will continue to be smart losers and nothing more, which is why you will rarely find Nobel Prize winners, CEOs, or generally succesful people skulking in their midst.

    The Questions and their Replies:
    Q1. Why can't Mensa members get dates?
    1. Because, below a certain point, size does matter.
    2. Because deep down they know that anyone who would date them is just as boring as they are
    3. Because watching paint dry really is more interesting
    If we tell people we're smarter than the people they're dating now, will they date us instead?
    1. No, because if you're stupid enough to actually say that to someone, you don't deserve to breed in the first place
    2. No, because your mother STILL dresses you funny.
    3. How many times do you need to hear "I'd rather drink the grape kool-aid" before you get a clue?
    Ok, the ones who will date us don't have any social skills either, but are we going to let that stop us from having a good time?
    1. Yes, because premature ejaculation doesn't count a "having sex"
    2. Yes, because there are laws in most places against having sex with the dead, and beastiality
    3. Yes, because your MOMMA ain't going to let you out of the basement past 8 PM on a week-end, 6 PM on week-days.
    Now for some more Mensa questions and answers

    Q. What's the difference between talking to a Mensan and talking to a wall?
    A. You can walk away from a wall when you've won an argument.
    A2.Nothing - neither one understands "STFU or else!"
    A3.After the first 5 minutes - nothing. Either way, you'll be bored to death.

    Maybe you'd consider this a troll, but isn't it possible that the Mensa people really are smarter than most of us here? And isn't it possible that if smarter people than us like Bush that maybe they're right and we're wrong?
