    Does having extra thin skin qualify a person for MENSA membership?

    I'm not in MENSA, but I am mulling an invitation from the Douchebag Club.

    Some of my favorite tidbits from the Mensa.org info page.

    Stupid penguins

    No commentary needed

    Will I need a shower after the Mensa Workout?

    No pride in that distinction

    Sports editors -- heck, most editors -- like their people to be meat-eating, belching, flatulating oafs. Mentioning you're in MENSA will not help your cause.

    Plural of the summation line of prayers. Amen. More than one Amen would be Amens.
    I'm guessing?

    We used to have a MENSA club come to the bar once every couple of months to play NTN. Haven't seen them in a while. They usually got their asses kicked, trivia wise, by the bar regulars. They were harmless enough, but they invited me to a MENSA party, and I, um, declined.

    While I don't share Wicked's assessment of what would make an ideal job candidate, no, I think sticking MENSA on your resume would look silly and pretentious. You want to participate in the club social stuff, fine. Leave it off of your job qualifications.
