He Was Confident and Cocky

Her husband was a working encyclopedia. He could spout off impressive facts About countries, continents, rain forests. She had never met such a wise man. She felt lucky that he married her. She decided to surprise him one night. She brought him to a party. Had not told him about playing the Trivial Pursuit game. He was confident and cocky. Stated over and over the manufacturer’s answers were wrong. The next day he retaliated by bringing home a test. Let’s take this if you dare, he said. She asked what it was. It’s an IQ test. She was terrified. She knew he was the smart one. She put him off for five days. On the sixth day he wrote to the authors of the test to point out all their errors. She had outscored him by twenty-two points.
