And that reminds me of one of my favorite jokes.
A man walks into a bar and orders a drink. He has a very sad expression on his face, so the bartender asks him what is wrong.
The man replies “I have an IQ of 170 and I have no one to talk to.”
The bartender calls out to the room “Hey, I’ve got a guy here with an IQ of 170 and no one to talk to.”
One of the bar denizens walks up and says “I’ve got an IQ of 165 and I’ll talk to you.”
The two men begin an animated discussion of the latest applications of nanobiology, Schrodinger’s cat writing a medium article, and the big three in Greek philosophy (not to be confused with Garnet, Pierce and Allen).
Another man walks in the bar, orders a drink and has a sad expression on his face.
The bartender asks him what is wrong and the man replies “I have an IQ of 125 and I have no one to talk to.”
The bartender calls out to the room “Hey, I’ve got a guy here with an IQ of 125 and no one to talk to.”
A second bar regular walks up and says “I’ve got an IQ of 120 and I’ll talk to you.”
So the two men begin to discuss the stock market, the cost effectiveness of single payer health care and the relative merits of the Lakers and Celtics.
A third man walks in the bar, and bursts into tears before he can even order a drink.
The bartender asks him what is wrong and the man sobs “I have an IQ of 80 and I have no one to talk to.”
The bartender calls out to the room “Hey, I’ve got a guy here with an IQ of 80 and no one to talk to.”
A happy man bounces up and announces “I’ve got an IQ of 75 and I’ll talk to you!”
The sad man wipes his tears and says “I can’t tell you how much it means to me to find someone to talk to.”
The happy man replies “Me, too. What do you want to talk about?”
The sad man says “I don’t know. What do you want to talk about?”
The happy man falls into silence, then says “I don’t know… been to any auditions recently?”
