Document Summary
Intelligence and sense of humor: laughter as creativity of being. A good sense of humor, someone who knows how to get that point of refined irony and ingenuity into a reality that is often somewhat gray and sharp, is usually a sign of intelligence. If we now turn our gaze to the past and return for a moment to plato"s texts, we will undoubtedly get a little surprise on the same subject. The famous greek philosopher and teacher of aristotle warned that humor and laughter were little more than an attribute of bad doing.

"a person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It is shaken by all the little stones on the road".
