Did you apply to MENSA for the fun of it and get in? Impressive.

Egads. I was curious about MENSA and went to some meetings. A more self-congratulatory group of people I'd never met. I was offered membership but turned it down!

Some variant of the above sentiment is used more often to signal good taste and high intellect, than MENSA membership itself :)

One in 50 people can join MENSA. One in 50,000 wants to.
