Have a serious question here - What can one do at age 50 with a
photographic memory particularly with numbers other than being a card shark in Vegas. The person in question only has a GED and has been in trouble with the law for most of his life.
The DUmmies try to help but it's all silly suggestions.

5. xfundy - This has been my problem for some time. I know his talents but I have been scared to death
as how he would make use of them particularly when he was on drugs. He is GD genius when it comes to numbers. I'm dyslexic and can barely add two and two
Now I'm thinking WOW. But at 50 with a criminal background, it won't be easy but being genius and all, maybe he could find something. Never say never.

9. He is not only my friend, he is my son. I face the reality of what his genius could do in the wrong hands. I bet Ben the Ponzi Schemer or Frank Abramof could have put him to good use. Maybe it is for the best his talent was never discovered.
I shoulda knowed better ! Of course it's his kid. All DUmmy kids are geniuses. :bs:
Something tells me "genius" spent his time thinking up criminal schemes for easy money and now at 50 he's sh*t out of luck.
I await the next report claiming genius to be disabled and filing for disability.

Seems to me he'd make a fine janitor. Good, honest work.
I know a place that needs a new dishwasher. Good, honest work.
Can he say "you want fries with that?" Good, honest work...

Fifty years old and been in trouble his entire life,stoned out on drugs and suddenly NOW you are worried about it?
You reap what you sow.

That quote kills me. You either HAVE a photographic memory or you do NOT have a photographic memory. It doesn't distinguish.
Bobbieo is living with delusions that its kids are somehow superior in some way. It doesn't want to look at the facts as presented. Not surprising for a DUmmie. That is why we have (_!_)bama as president.

Ah. The DUmmie genius.
Once there were 3 DUmmies, naturally each was a genius, who decided to apply for a leadership position in a vote stealing organization. The was an interview for the position. The interviewer explained that in order out smart the conservatives the person who received the position needed to be very intelligent. To determine their intelligence he asked each a math problem. They were asked to give the result of 3 multiplied by 3.
The first DUmmie genius quickly answered "347." The second DUmmie genius quickly answered "Tuesday." The third DUmmie genius answered "9." The interviewer told the third DUmmie genius that it was correct and asked how it reached that answer. The third DUmmie genius answered that it was very simple. It had just subtracted "347" from "Tuesday."

Get him a job as a traffic camera.

So funny, yet so true....
The K*I*S*S principle is as foreign to a DUmmie as reality....
-
So to sum up, this kid just got out of jail and needs a job.
He has a criminal history and is good with numbers...
The answer is easy. Go to work for ACORN.
-
Get him a job as a traffic camera.
He'd be better qualified as a traffic cone....
Or a speed bump....

11. (blah, blah, blah....)
My IQ is 165+, that is 35 points over the genius score of 130 on the WAIS test. Genius can be pretty meaningless when one factors in the reality of one's actions in how one lives. I squandered much of my life, and my brains really got in the way much of the time. I used "brilliance" as avoidance. A way of feeling unique. I, too, had to "bite the bullet," and start my life much later than many other people do.
If I were great at counting cards I would be in Vegas instead of typing. Being a "genius" does not mean one is "smart."
Saying you are a genius on a message board does not make it true.

Posting at the DUmp pretty well assures that one isn`t.

A photographic memory and a GED??
Why does that scream CRAP!!??
-
165???????? Yeah, right! Minus a hundred maybe! That's Einstein caliber. A 165 puts you workin' for the dreaded military! heh, heh! We all know that can't happen for some worm posting at the DUmp!

While I don't even come close to believing the DUmmies claim of a 165 IQ I also don't believe a high IQ does much for you unless you have drive. The man with the highest IQ in this country is a bouncer in New York.

What you forgot to mention was the fourth DUmmie. When asked this question they closed all the drapes locked the door, unplugged the telephone, sat down and said "What do you want it to make?"

But he's a gen-you-eyene Sooper Genius, just like Wile E. Coyote!

Is that "sooper", or "stupor"? :rotf:

:lmao: I also left out the fifth DUmmie genius who built a cage out of chicken wire, placed said cage between two concrete blocks and then set it all on fire. As it burned he said, "as you can see from this experiment the result of 3 multiplied by 3 is clearly 'Bush did it"."

In my experience usually people who run around touting their IQ scores are some of the stupidest m'fers you will ever meet! :whatever:
-
Considering everyone at the DUmp is a self described as gifted andtalented, the bar for genius is pretty dammmmmmmn low.
-

......and generally have an IQ of about 40, that is if you add 20 to the final score. I doubt, from what I've read over at the DUmp, that the combined IQ from all DUmpster DIvers is 165!

Exactly. Anyone with a job is entitled to be treated with dignity, not much pisses me off worse than seeing some privileged asshat giving a waitress or janitor a hard time just to make himself or herself feel superior.
Hate to say it, but the only realy bankable kind of work for a person like the OP writes about (Especially given the bad criminal record) would be as a walking set of books for a drug gang or some other clandestine organization...and it doesn't sound like the individual involved is either good enough at being a criminal or basically trustworthy enough to do even that.
-

I've often contemplated on this very thing, given the clientele I deal with. Just how does one trust a "criminal" with the books? Seems a contradiction in terms to me, but then again I'm a law abidin', productive citizen so maybe I don't have the perspective to dwell on such matters. The old sayin' "There's no honor among thieves" comes to mind.

It's a basic problem with the arrangement, either the bookkeeper taking excessive advantage of the situation or flipping to be a Government witness - but there are four primary ways to handle it:
1. The bookkeeper's identity remains a very closely-guarded secret.
2. You as the kingpin have some lever over the bookkeeper so powerful that he would risk rotting in prison for life over whatever alternative thing you can make happen, for instance a clearly-communicated understanding that he won't live long enough to testify if he turns.
3. The kingpin and the bookkeeper are the same guy (Not feasible here, this 'Kid' clearly isn't very good at the crime thing).
4. You have the critical info split up among multiple bookkeepers who do not work together, perhaps also partially encrypted, so that they can't collude to sell you out and none of them has the information necessary to bring you down in one set of hands.

Been my experience that the "KingPins" ain't very smart either. Sure they get away with it for awhile, but most get "nicked" in the long run. Usually by spending more money than is feasible with their supposed income. I like those guys, they have high bonds!

By and large, I agree, but we do have to consider that the only ones we know about are the screw-ups.

He's a mathematical genius....you name the crime and he'll tell you how much time you're gonna have to do.

I'm surprised bobbieo hasn't yet signed up on here to tell us how mean, misguided, and wrong we are.

To tell you the truth, we actually know about most of them. We are just waiting for them to screw up enough in order to make the charges stick. Innocent until proven guilty and all that nonsense.
