Mensa Solution

"So Fired!"*

*Brandon, my grandson was working at a pet store
that offered free replacement fish to any that die.

A lady called and stated that her hamster had died.
The salesperson who answered the phone
misunderstood her, thinking it was a fish, told her
to place it in a plastic bag with water and return
it so it could be replaced.

The lady followed instructions to a "T" and brought
her dead hamster in a bag of water and handed
to my grandson and said "my hamster died."

Laughing he replied, "Was that before or after you
placed it in the bag of water?"

He was fired for not showing sympathy to a customer!

"Mensa Solution"*

*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 then unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them.
