I liked the article!

Once upon a time, our company clerk informed me that my GT score qualified me to join MENSA, and invited me to a meeting. I thought I could meet womens. When I got there, I joined a group that was talking about Piri Reis (Turkish admiral long ago - with cool maps). I thought they were talking about PeeWee Reese (Dodger shortstop and later play-by-play announcer with Dizzy Dean and Gurt Gowdy) and joined in the conversation.

I wasn't invited back.

(That story IS true, and I am NOT taking it back even if one of those people shows up and disputes it!)
