Some years ago, there was a Mensa convention in San Francisco. Mensa, as you may know, is an international organisation for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher. |

High IQ versus common sense? |

I will admit, I was a member of MENSA once, in the 1980's, and went to a few of their meetings. |

It often happens at MENSA conventions, it has also occurred in Sydney and London. |

Nothing to do with MENSA but my ex had a long certificate thing in a frame with quite a long string from the long side to hang it by. |

I've done a similar thing with a baton holding a shelf up. It is in an awkward corner, and I don't think the plank (aka shelf) is a straight as it could be. |

My daughter's BFs are not quite Mensa but, they are both extremely intelligent young women although neither has an ounce of common sense. |

I would like to explain, I only took the MENSA test because, as the youngest of 4, one sister 4 years older, two brothers 6 & 7 years older, all my life, they'd question me on things they knew (had learnt at school) and if I didn't know the answer, would make derogatory remarks about my intelligence - especially the younger of my brothers. |
