Effect of over thinking

*Some years ago, there was a Mensa convention in San Francisco.*

*Mensa, is an international organization for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher.*

*Several of the Mensa members went out for lunch at a local cafe.*

*When they sat down, one of them discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper, and their pepper shaker was full of salt.*

*How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any, and using only the implements at hand?*

*Clearly -- this was a job for Mensa minds.*

*The group debated the problem and presented ideas and finally, came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer.*

*They then called the waitress over, ready to dazzle her with their solution.*

*"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker contains pepper..."*

*But before they could finish, the waitress interrupted & said...*

*"Oh -- sorry about that."*

*She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them.*

*There was dead silence at the Mensa table.*

*For most of the problems in our lives there are simple solutions, but it is our “Brilliant” minds that complicate every simple solution. ...Change the Caps and enjoy life !!*

*Take a re-look at life, you will find non issues mostly!*

*CHILL ENJOY LIFE.*

Be Happy.Keep Smiling.
