For All DUers: A One-Question IQ Test!
Edited on Sun Jan-29-06 06:30 PM by TahitiNut


Here's a one-question IQ Test to help you decide how you should spend the rest of your day ...




There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.





Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?




Think about it first before scrolling down for the answer...














He opens his mouth and says. "I would like to buy a pair of sunglasses"

:eyes:


If you got this wrong - please stop posting, turn off your computer, and call it a day.



:silly:

4. Yeah, but who is the blind man talking to? Could be the TV set!

5. Several questions arise from this.
1. Why is the blind man requesting sunglasses? I know that a great many blind people wear them, but then if he does so also, does he not have some? Can't be a fashion statement since said blind man can't see the offerings given by the clerk, right?

2. Why is the blind man alone in a store asking about sunglasses? Methinks he would have a companion on such an outing. Not that he'd NEED one, but if he mentioned to his friends that he were going out shades shopping, at least one would offer to accompany him. If not, they suck.

3. This alleged toothbrush buying mute...what, he couldn't find the dental hygiene aisle in the store? I think that most folks that are mute have developed superior self-supportive skills to make up for their inability to speak.

4. If getting this question wrong means that one should turn off the computer and call it a day, then you've just brought the internet to it's knees. However, in thanks, if they should do so, I appreciate your part in keeping DU and Level 0, as every Freeptard on the planet has just logged off.
