Where did my intelligence come from?

明日は朝早く家を出るのでいつも日曜日に紹介する英語ジョークを今投稿します。
・One day, Johnny said to his dad, "Daddy, my teacher told us today that being smart is something you get from your parents."
He then asked, "So where did my intelligence come from?"
His dad replied, "Well son, you must have gotten it from your mother, because I still have mine."

Another son-and-father conversation
・A father was telling his son that he needed to be more like his playmate who consistently gets high grades at school.
Father: You should be more like John. He'd doing well at school and his grades are always high.
Son: But Dad, that's not fair. John's father is smarter.
明日のダブルスの試合の他に、月曜日は会社を休んで東京都のラージボールの試合に出て、3日の祝日は地元江戸川区中央地区のシングルスの試合と続きます。9月に種を蒔いた小松菜、春菊、蕪、ミニ大根が収穫できる様になり、畑仕事も大忙しです。11月27日にはハーフマラソンが控えているのですが練習する暇がなくて完走できるかどうかも怪しくなってきました。

RD9月号のDo-it-Yourselfガイドにあった記事からです。
The rule for an IKEA hack is simple: at least one IKEA item must be modified or repurposed in the finished product.
This includes personalising and repurposing original IKEA products towards customised end products or furnishings adapted to suit the user's needs - often souped up versions displaying dashes of inspirational creativity and unexpected twists.
"souped up" は以前に取り上げた "juice up" (Ref. blog.alc.co.jp/blog/3302827/archive/2009/3/6 ) を連想させます。　辞書を見ます。
・Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary: to increase the power or efficiency of: soup up an engine: Origin of SOUP UP: soup (drug injected into a racehorse to improve its performance)
・McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs: soup something up: to increase the power of something. He souped his car up so it will do nearly 120 miles per hour. If only I could soup up this computer to run just a little faster.
