The link between Intelligence and Humor...

We all have that one friend...the one who has such a quick wit, the one with a snappy hilarious comeback, the one who can have a room laughing with their one-liners and jokes. They are fun to be around and would definitely be thought of as an extrovert. But highly intelligent? Most of us haven't thought about that. Researchers have, however. And the results of their research might surprise you.

That’s why the really good standup comics - particularly the political satirists - are some of the best brains. Often musical too. To add to the pleasure!

So... the study reveals that to be a smart ass you have to be smart.
Research money well spent. 🙂

Wisdom over intelligence, an intelligent person knows many many things, a wise person knows how to put that intelligence to work. 1 is no good without the other, combined they are a force to be reckoned with. I see said the blind man...

I believe there is too much emphases put on relative intelligence. High IQ is no guarantee of social nor material success - or failure for that matter.

I could not be more in agreement - very well stated@MADcHATTER

We all know people who have lightning fast wit.

A Hispanic friend had made some incredibly good totally homemade cheese burritos. She had made the tortillas, cheese, hot sauce and all from scratch*

NOT from the material "scratch" but real ingredients

When I asked her if she had made the cheese in her bathtub (it's a thing) she flashed right back at me

No, the toilet
