From Teddy Dalrymple:
“With luck, the mass impoverishment that is quite likely to strike Great Britain in the near future will prevent the British from going abroad in any numbers, thus slightly raising the cultural level of the rest of the world.”
When I emigrated , the following was written on the Bon Voyage card presented to me by my former colleagues:
“Kim is leaving South Africa for the United States, thus raising the average IQ of both countries.”
Who said statisticians have no sense of humor?
In the early 80’s, the Mayor of San Diego CA, Pete Wilson, in “congratulating” a member of the City Council on his elevation to the County’s Board of Supervisors noted the same, that it would elevate the intellectual level of both bodies.
