How Smart Is Your Audience?

There’s a wonderful old book, Isaac Asimov’s Treasury of Humor, published in 1971. The cover describes the book:

A lifetime collection of favorite jokes, anecdotes, and limericks with copious notes on how to tell them and why.

I’m sure there is plenty here to offend those that are into that sort of thing and many of the jokes would probably qualify as Dad Jokes. Despite that, it has held up quite well and his choices of jokes to determine the intelligence of the audience is quite revealing.
