You could also increase equality in the treatment of stupid/intelligent people by prescribing national health, black rimmed specs with sticking plaster over one lens to the intelligent people.

Except, after a while, everyone would know which people were stoopid and which were brainy just by looking at their glasses. You could swap the prescriptions around then, but then...everyone would still know ....er....forget it.

agreed - mfd dr brain instead.... pulls out plug on sink - sound of single, puny glug. Shouts down "S" bend "welcome to the Bakery - I'm fairly new here too" then replaces plug to prevent him/her climbing back up spout.

idea to be called - wait of it - Brain Drain. It had to be said and I HAD to say it first !
