frank the frickin idgit writes thusly:

Jax claims an IQ of 154
*based on the MENSA IQ test*. This test uses a standard deviation of
24, instead of the more typical 15. Therefore, his claimed IQ, in
numbers most of us are more used to using, is in the low 130s.


130 to 135 to 137 to 140 to 145 to 154, depending on the test. 98.5%tile on
most tests. 96%tile on some, 99.5% on others.

Who the **** cares but the low ball types.

As to the original question, I'd vote for refrigeration;


of course you would

I love
refrigeration


yes, you like your night excess alcohol intake to be **COLD**.

And, yes, I'd bring along my sextant (mostly 'cause it
gets bored just sitting there doing nothing, although my slide rule
keeps it company).


along with your SylvaniaVision(r) black and white television.

Is that why you take so many IQ tests?

I was given so many different tests over the years I can't begin to remember
them all. Even my summer between 7th and 8th grades, three teachers doing
their normal grad coursework asked my mother if they could "borrow" me to
practise their testing giving skills.

The reason being that they couldn't believe how low the scores
were, while still allowing you to talk.

yeah, my 133 to 154 (depending on the test) was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay below their
198 to 305 IQ's

You know every time someone tells me I have xx IQ or I just
did a deal for xx $$, or I just bought a brand new xx for 1/2 the
cost, I know for certain that they are full of it.

If you believe you're brilliant, fine with me.

I think it is more telling when middle aged people tell stories of
their "achievements" during their Jr High and High School days. Sort
of conjures up images of Al Bundy. Well, except Al was employed,
married and likeable.
