Minor edit: “the I.Q. of that same individual at 30.” And of course there are various IQ tests based on differing views of what “I.Q.” really means. In any event, the IQ won’t change (unless there is major brain damage) but learning about the world will hopefully make someone appear “smarter”.
For a few laughs and some nostalgia, you could check youtube for Johnny Carson posing as Ronald Reagan and doing a version of the A & C routine using political figures’ names.
Just an observation – that is a very old routine, obviously based on the Abbott and Costello routine, and only works because the Who changed their name from the original group name – “the Detour” (they also used the name “the High Numbers” for a few months in 1964). Sorry – was feeling very pedantic this morning.
Yeah but what about poker? (oops – “A super-powered computer performed trillions of calculations to hone an elusive skill: bluffing. Then it proceeded to wipe out five human poker champions with one lousy hand.” WSJ – There goes the Star Trek premise of humans beating computers with deceit.)
