I'm really glad you haven't met me.
Because I'm obviously an ass that has done nothing useful with my vaunted intellect. anyone who has met me knows this.
It's on my CV, it looks good, I enjoy the magazine, I don't go to the meetings (many long grey ponytails of both genders with birks and socks at mine), but I do take advantage of the discounts and membership plusses. Plus, sometimes it's nice to say, "look what I can do." I've had conversations with other Mensa members and it's nice to talk with people that use grown-up words. And don't care when I use them or when I say, "Fuck off."
