Don’t have to be a genius to laugh at these

According to the American Mensa website, Mensa was founded in 1946 as an international society of people who score in the top 2 percent of the general population on standard intelligence tests. 

You can check your own IQ on-line for free here, to see if Mensa would take you…. (only put in a credit card number for the “full” results.  They’ll send your basic number through the e-mail free).

 

Fortunately you don’t have to be a genius to laugh at these.  Enjoy…
