But, then again that was highschool----several head injuries, 11,000 gallons of beer, three pounds of weed and several hits of Purple MicroDot ago.

It is generally accepted that college entrance signifies an IQ of 120.

That sounds a little high to me. IIRC, 120 puts one in the top quintile, and more than 20% of HS seniors attend college.

No kidding?

The last time I took an intelligence test, it was a fairly extensive one I found on the internet, and I scored 120 blind drunk. I was a little disappointed.

Of course, if I hadn't have been blind drunk, I wouldn't have wasted my time with it in the first place.

Then again, I probably would have scored 60 had I been sober.

The measurement of intelligence is inexact at best. On the other hand, most of us can recognize it when we see it (and the lack thereof).

I haven't lived in a place where you can burn trash since I was a kid, although our house does have a little incinerator in the chimney. We have a tree that shreds so many branches that I could have a bonfire about once a month.

The problem is that there are so many different tests that the number they provide is irrelevant. Where the results fall on the standard Gaussian distribution is much more significant.

Tell me about fallen branches, the first mowing in spring is a chore; stop the tractor, jump off, toss the branch ito the woods . . .

Here's what liberal intellect looks like to me:

Or maybe this one. Chief difference is that Nancy could outsmart the reps at every turn. You may not like her but there is not a damn thing y'all can teach her about politics. Unlike Agent Orange she can count votes.

High Scool Guidance Counsellor;

"David, I just don't understand why your failing English when your scores elsewhere are well above average."

"Three reasons;
1). English class comes right after lunch. I'm usually stoned.
2). I take issue with being forced to learn a language I already speak.
3). Mrs. Prescott is a drunk and a bitter old hag. I don't like her and she doesn't like me. So, it's best that we avoid each other. Wouldn't you say?"

See. I've always been like this.
