A word on humour

Step 5 Being witty...

So wit is simply using one's intellect to make either satirical or snappy comments about another's work, follies or shortcomings.

I do believe our good friend Goodhart would be one to look to here, he spends much of his time picking out amusing things from instructables and comments and being witty about them, it's not hard either though remember sarcasm is considered the lowest form of wit. Considering it can be described as quickness of fancy, you get the idea that being fanciful or silly is acceptable in wit as long as the actual line is funny.

That brings us on to one of the most common forms of wit: one liners, a short snappy comment or 'tagline' that makes something funny, I suppose you could use the kittypics as an example, you know the ones with kittens and a line that makes them funny (rarely imho).

Wit is not the reserve of the intellectual though (but experience and practice sure help), it's just a subtle humour that is quite unnoticeable day to day.
