yes, children who are able to understand riddles and simple jokes consistently score higher on I.Q. tests than their peers who miss the jokes.

Absolutely! The more intelligent you are, the more perspectives you have on every situation. Therefore you have more opportunity to discover the funny ha-ha's in life.
Of course, then there is the complete moron that laughs at everything as he drools into his lap. But the difference is "sensing humor". If you say you smell chocolate all the time, do you have a REALLY good sense of smell, or are you just crazy?
My point exactly.

I do precisely like this style of humor it really is extra oftentimes linked with more effective intelligence, and picture there's a distinct correlation between one's intelligence and one's type of humor...yet not inevitably between intelligence and experience of humor, as measured by employing quantity of humor, appreciation of humor, or experience of comedic timing.

without a doubt! Intelligent people will have a more witty or dry sense of humor where as not so intelligent people will be more into stupid stuff. IE..Jerry Seinfeld VS. Ace Ventura

Yes, and no. An insane person would laugh at anything or everything. It is not intelligence. But again, to be a successful comedian, you've got to be intelligent.

"Yes La Inglesa! Wouldn't you know it, the first thing I thought about was a political joke by Mark Twain. He said, of the laws Congress passes: "Stupidity got us into this mess, why can't it get us out?"

Yes. Comedians need to possess quick wit and cleverness to make you laugh. Where as stupid people just need to be in the same room to make you laugh. I find that stupid people are geniuses when it comes to slap stick.

Apparently there is an inverse relationship. My funniest answers have usually been followed by responses that I am a moron.

I once was blessed with finding my exact double living on earth. His exact thoughts were as mine. I tried to call him but the phone was busy.
