When I saw the headline "Texas executes man with 61 IQ" my first thought was, well gee, who's going to be governor now?
But it turns out it wasn't Rick Perry after all. No, not George W. Bush either.
Now, maybe you thought that the Supreme Court had ruled in 2002 that a state couldn't execute a "mentally retarded" person because it violated the 8th Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.
The Supreme Court did in fact say that, but hey, don't mess with Texas!
Besides, a person with a 61 IQ isn't considered to be "mentally retarded" in the Lone Star State.
I'll leave a space here for you to make up your own jokes:

In Texas, an IQ of 61 puts you in the top 10 percentile.
