> Several of the Mensa members went out for lunch at a local café.  When they sat down, one of them discovered that the salt shaker contained pepper & the pepper shaker was full of salt.
> 
> How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any & using only the implements at hand?  Clearly this was a job for Mensa minds. 
> 
> The group debated the problem, presented ideas & finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw & an empty saucer. 
> 
> They called the waitress over, ready to dazzle her with their solution. "Miss," they said, "We couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt & 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 & switched them. 
> 
> There was dead silence at the Mensa table. 
>    
> Kinda reminds ya of the government, doesn't it.  
> Don't confuse IQ and education with common sense.
