Best way to get OW divers out of the cave?

[diveconjeff]

...I asked if he had seen me flashing my light at him, and he acknowledged he had. I mentioned that I didn't see his 7 foot hose or safety reel. He acted confused, and then said "it's not like we're going to do a real cavern dive or anything." My buddy popped in and said, quite correctly, "some folks would argue you already were on a cavern dive." He got snitty with us and took off.

Got Snitty? He simply realized he was messing with Jef(f) Squared and promptly withdrew

I know this is my first response to this group, and feel that we need to do our best to keep the safety of these OW divers in mind...however on a humorous note please remember this...The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains is great news for stupid people.

Mike,

Welcome to the forum! I'd like to add that there have been a few MENSA candidates who have demonstrated an incredible amount of bad luck when they think.

Well played Mike! Welcome to the board.
That was funny

BTW...I personally find stupid people rather entertaining, so it's good to hear there is hope for them. I need the entertainment.

Mike, Welcome to the board. With your permission I'd like to quote that in my signature line...

Of the people that actually consider themselves Mensa candidates and then take the proctored tests, only about one in ten actually make the cut. Therefore, being a candidate doesn't necessarily make one a Mensan and thus gives more credence to your statement.

Not sure about Florida but up here in NY, at the Mensa tests I proctor, we get about 75% pass rate.

Welcome to the forum Mike. You are off to a flying start. Soon you'll learn the secret handshake and where we keep the picture of Sid in his backplate.

When I took the tests in the 80's, I was told that only about one in ten make it in. When my husband took the tests in the early 90's, there were only five in attendance and were told that most likely none would be asked to join.
I'm curious if this is a geographical issue or if the percentage has increased, possibly due to people preparing better for the tests or those taking the tests are more assured of their ability to make the necessary percentile? Could be an interesting article in a future bulletin.
