Is there a ceremony? Crowns, swords, secret ballots, a puff of white smoke?
Or perhaps only by birth? The true writers a secretive clan who's blood hath been passed down through the ages?
To the topic at hand though, wit, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. What you might judge as clumsy or bad wittiness could be hilarious to another person. It could even be so witty that us lesser beings cannot hope to understand it.
It is a big world, and we do not all laugh at the same comedy. Or appluad the same words. So I would not judge overly harsh anyone who does not confirm to my own sense of wit.
