The monthly Mensa meeting will NOT be held in Olathe, Kansas...... [View all]

[lastlib]

...because there's nobody there eligible to attend.

I pulled into a convenience store/gas station yesterday, bought some food for lunch, and took it out to my truck to eat. One of my co-workers was with me, eating lunch at the same time. While I'm eating, some lady (probably about 65 y/o, looking like she has the IQ of a Brownback voter) gets out of a car a couple parking slots down and stops on the sidewalk, maybe six feet directly in front of my truck. She lights a cigarette and starts smoking. Not three feet beside her is a rack of propane tanks for exchange, clearly marked "FLAMMABLE--NO SMOKING". So I laid down on my horn. She wasn't looking at me, so my horn startled her enough to drop her cigarette. She looked at me and reached down for her cig. I pointed vigorously at the propane, mouthing the word "PROPANE" at her. She picked up her cigarette, took a drag off it, flipped me off, and walked PAST the propane rack with her lighted cigarette and stood by her car, where she continued to smoke.

Not wanting to be totally immolated today, I started my truck and backed out. I pulled around the gas pumps, where a couple more Mensa rejects in SUVs were, within five feet of a gas pump, trying to hook jumper cables from one car battery to another. HO-Lee SHIT! Where is the Darwin Award committee when I need them?

I drove away from there as fast as I could. Kansas REEALLY needs to spend MORE on education, not less! To the Mensa membership committee, I can only say: no intelligent life here in Olathe, Kansas!
