First off, IQ is an antiquated and terrible measurement of a person’s actual intelligence.

Secondly, if there was an IQ for sense of humor, or even just a ability to detect a joke in the wild, you’d probably sit somewhere in the bottom quartile.

You’re the one that brought up IQ in the first place, you can’t blame me for engaging on that.

It’s hard to detect a joke when it doesn’t exist in the first place.

  The dude is dumb. I was calling him dumb.
  
  Definitely not my best work, but also clearly not a serious thought provoking question that needs further investigation, or a correction about the mean distribution of IQ scores amongst a population.

    Ah, there it is. Say it louder for those at 99 IQ in the back that you’re lumping in with this guy. That is, if you think they’re even smart enough to be able to understand you in the first place.
    
    And it wasn’t a question you posed at all- it was a generalised statement that you consider half the population to be “dumb”, which, in a roundabout way, is where I’ve been going with this.
