Intelligent thoughts?

At dinner with some friends the other night, Susan told us about a guy she's been going out with lately. She willingly shared with us (out loud) that they discussed how to calculate the Dow Jones Industrial Average on one of their first dates.

At that point, Cathy confessed, "Wow! I'm pretty sure the most intelligent thought I've had all day was, 'Man, I wish I were black!'"

(3) Actually, Susan and Cathy had this conversation weeks earlier and were simply reenacting it for us the other night.
