You still sit when you pee ? I was just wondering why it was insulting. Fighting ignorance and all. But you were just joking? Fair enough. I didn’t get it. Still don’t, but I’m really not concerned about it. (Also, I’d advise against an IQ-based dick-measuring contest here. Lots of posters have high IQs.

> [@common\_good](#): > > “Q-tip, tooth brush” ? what are those ? My IQ is 136. Yours ? Snarkasm You seem to be under the misconception that your I.Q. is equal to the highest number you can count to without assistance. That’s totally understandable-many people that cannot recognize toothbrushes and Q-Tips make that same mistake. ---

That’s totally understandable-many people that cannot recognize toothbrushes and Q-Tips make that same mistake. The bigger issue is when you mistake a toothbrush _for_ a Q-Tip and that… that’s just not fun… ☹ ---

Yours is the only response I can call serious. It IS a sort of dick-measuring comment, mine, and not funny, I admit. I realize many members have higher IQs and that IQ testing is flawed. They measure a person’s ability to take IQ tests and little more. I don’t mean to brag. But I’m being hammered as some idiot. I’m not. Thanks. ---
