Ask HN - Is it worth joining Mensa?

I joined MENSA for the card. When I went to Kinko's to laminate it, I didn't read the instructions on the wall, and the laminate melted to the machine. I had to get the Kinko's guy to open the machine for me, but by then the card was bubbling. When he scraped it out and saw what it was, he laughed. He laughed so hard.

Is it worth joining MENSA? If you want to belong to a club that would have me as a member.

Is this a true story? Either way, it's one of the biggest laughs I have in a while.

Yes. It's so in character that I'm not even able to be ashamed of it anymore.

It took me a few minutes to get this story, but once I got it I laughed so hard.
