Mensa Minds

Some years ago, 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 lunchtime 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 contains salt and the salt
shaker... "

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.

Reminds me of government.
