I see Q
Mr. Codswallop: Have you ever had your Intelligence Quotient measured by the Stanford-Binet test?
Mr. Flapdoodle: I think that measurement should be kept personal.
Mr. Codswallop: You believe that a person's measured level of intelligence should not be used in any public manner?
Mr. Flapdoodle: You can call it an intelligence if you like, but I don't want the ladies hearing to much about us guys being measured.
Mr. Codswallop: I was not talking about measuring your sexual organs. I was referring to what the common person labels an I.Q. test.
Mr. Flapdoodle: Why didn't you say that in English in the first place.
Mr. Codswallop: I used the Queen's English. Is that too difficult for your limited vocabulary?
Mr. Flapdoodle: Maybe if you used the ordinary guy's English, people would understand you better.
Mr. Codswallop: Here is the question in a format that you can understand.
Mr. Flapdoodle: You are writing it on a floor mat? That makes no sense at all.
Mr. Codswallop: Have you ever taken an I.Q. test?
Mr. Flapdoodle: Well, some guy at a job interview asked me "What's your I.Q." very quickly.
Mr. Codswallop: What response did you provide?
Mr. Flapdoodle: I said "Bless you".
Mr. Codswallop: Why did you give that remark?
Mr. Flapdoodle: I thought he sneezed.
Mr. Codswallop: I believe you missed the entire point of the question.
Mr. Flapdoodle: Well, he didn't sneeze or ask again. In fact, he sent me home right there.
Mr. Codswallop: That does not surprise me in the slightest.
