Albert Einstein was at a party in Boston and he was surrounded by a small
crowd of admirers. He introduces himself to the first member of the group,
and asks, “What is your IQ?”
The man answers, “191.”
“Wonderful!” says Einstein. “We will talk about the Grand Unification Theory
and the mysteries of the universe. We will have much to discuss!”
Albert then turns to a woman and asks, “What’s your IQ?”
She responds, “123.”
“Ah!” says Albert. “We can discuss politics and current affairs. We, too,
have much to discuss!”
Einstein then notices a third member of the group proudly and again inquires
about the man’s IQ. This time the answer is “62.”
The great physicist ponders for a moment, then brightens and says, “GO RED
SOX!”
(I’m enjoying the day doing historical research out at Lexington and
Concord, so just HAD to “dig” a little at the Bahsontians)
