I've had a few people tell me, "I'm a member of Mensa." right after I
graduated from High School. I just smiled and asked, "Then why did you
call me to fix your TV? It's something you should be able to do in your
sleep, with a mind like yours. After all, I was building radios at
eight and fixing TVs at 13."

I don't know what my IQ is. The counselors at school kept trying to
tell me, but I told them that I didn't care what it was. They kept
trying to push me into fields other than electronics, and I just wasn't
interested.
