    I do not deserve this mug. I spent about 5 mins trying to work it out before I noticed the answer at the bottom :o

    I was a member of Mensa until they had to put up the fees by 25% in one year!! My thinking was that if they couldn't work out in advance what fees they would need taking into account the amount of people joining, then I really couldn't be bothered sticking with them!
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
