Monday

Monday's here again. The weekend surely flew right on by. There was a really nice rain here after 6 p.m. last night. No thunder or lightning.

I'm getting ready to head off to another work week. We've got lots of things to put back into order after the conference, it's like cleaning up after a big party at your house. Putting away all those things you only haul out for the party. Big job. I'm glad that there are two of us working on it.

Salt and Mensa

Mensa is an organization whose members have an IQ of 140 or higher.

A few years ago, there was a Mensa convention in San Francisco, and several members lunched at a local cafe. While dining, they discovered that their saltshaker contained pepper and their pepper shaker was full of salt. How could they swap the contents of the bottles without spilling, and using only the implements at hand?

Clearly this was a job for Mensa! The group debated and presented ideas, and finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer. They called the waitress over to dazzle her with their solution.

"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker..."

"Oh," the waitress interrupted. "Sorry about that." She unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them.
