scientist has invented that increases peoples' IQs. The man goes to the
scientist and explains that his unhappiness is caused by his low IQ and
could the scientist improve it for him? The scientist says 'no problem, get
in the machine, I'll sort it out for you!'
The guy gets in, the scientist turns it on, and increases the IQ: 40, 45,
70, 80, 120, 150, 200! He opens the machine and lets the man out, and as
anticipated, the man is toweringly intelligent.
A fortnight later, though, the man returns to the scientist and says 'It's
great I'm really intelligent, I've discovered loads of new ideas, the only
problem is that I don't go out now, I don't see my friends, the whole world
seems stupid to me, please give me back the IQ I had before.'
The scientist says 'no problem, get in the machine'.
The guy gets in the machine, the scientist switches it on, lowering the
dial: 200, 180, 160, suddenly the dial breaks: 140, 120, 80, 70, 50, 40, 30,
10, 8, 6, and the machine stops at 2. 'Oh my goodness', says the scientist
to himself, 'what on earth is going to get out of the machine?! What have I
done?'
The man opens the door, gets out of the machine, walks around it, and says
'Is this your vehicle sir?'
