Can humor be a sign of intelligence?
I have heard it said that creating word puns can be a sign of great intelligence. I believe that there is some truth in this statement. Taking a word and playing with its meaning in order to create a play on words can be a rigorous brain exercise, one that gets better with practice. Most adults will groan when they hear this type of humor simply because it is often to obvious to them or perhaps they are jealous that they did not think of the pun themselves. Whatever the reason puns are often responded to with a loud groan. Children on the other hand are not so inhibited at such playfulness and are freer to express their laughter over words that seem to tickle their ears and delight their minds.
I’m glad I can still laugh like a child and I hope you can to when you view my artistic pun below, The Moosician. 
This chair was painted for the Helena Symphony Orchestra as a donation for their annual Gala auction. It sold for 340.00 and I am happy I could support such a wonderful organization.
