Reminds me of a joke....
There is a Bar where the bartender is famous because he can guess a person's IQ and match him to another person in the bar so that they can enjoy a conversation on the same level.
The first gentleman walks in and he has 180 IQ. The bartender guesses his IQ and sends him over to have a very enlightened conversation with a Field's Metal recipient.
The next person has 130 IQ. She is introduced to a Mechanical Engineer with whom she has a very lively discussion.
A guy comes in with a 95 IQ. The bartender directs him to an office worker to discuss politics.
A guy with a 65 IQ walks in. The bartender points to the bass player who just finished his set.
Maybe it's not that funny, but the whole "politics" thing gets a little dull after a while. 'Kinda like a finger pointing contest.
