Mensa is an organization whose members have an IQ of 140 or higher.
A few years ago, there was a Mensa convention in San
Francisco, and several members lunched at a local cafe. While dining, they
discovered that their saltshaker contained pepper & their pepper shaker was
full of salt.
How could they swap the contents of the bottles without
spilling & using only the implements at hand?
Clearly this was a job for Mensa!
The group debated & presented ideas, and finally came up
with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, & an empty saucer.
They called the waitress over to dazzle her with their
solution.
"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but
notice that the pepper shaker contains salt & the salt shaker contains
pepper."
"Oh," the waitress interrupted. "Sorry about
that." She unscrewed the caps of both bottles & switched them.

Ecc 7:29 (GNT): “This is all that I have learned: God made
us plain and simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated.”
“The gospel is so simple that small children can understand
it, and it is so profound that studies by the wisest theologians will never
exhaust its riches.” - Charles Hodge.
2 Cor 4:3 (GNT): “For if the gospel we preach is hidden, it
is hidden only from those who are being lost.”
