The swedish Mensa had their yearly meetup last weekend, which
ended up with police being called to the hotel they were staying
at to help stave off the unruly and piss-drunk geniuses. The club
president called them "fucking idiots". The participants, once they
had sobered up, sent a sheepish bouquet of flowers to the poor
harassed receptionist, along with a card stating that even they
sometimes had "bad luck while thinking."(!) Much hilarity was had.
Laughs all around.

I find it even more amusing how much faith people put into the
behavior of highly intelligent individuals. Including the highly
intelligent individuals in question. People laughing at their
antics. The president's acidic response. Their own sad excuse.
The expectation (or myth? meme?) is that intelligent people don't
behave that way. Except they do, because they are people, and
people like to kick back and have fun.

The only damning thing in this story is how they can't escape
their own expected behavior. Well, that, and acting like frat-
morons. That shit's never gonna fly.
