Grok, tell me an example of being witty.
1. Being witty often involves quick, clever remarks that play on words or situational humor. Here's an example:
Imagine someone walks into a room and says, "I think I need glasses," to which you could reply:
"Well, you certainly need something to help you see the obvious, but I'm not sure it's the room that's getting blurry!"
This response is witty because it:
Plays on the double meaning of needing "glasses" (both for vision and for drinking).
It humorously suggests that the problem might not be with the person's eyesight but perhaps with their perception or the situation itself.
Wit often comes from unexpected connections or twists on common phrases, delivered with timing that enhances the humor or insight.

2. Here's an example of wit:
Interviewer: "Can you give me an example of a time you had to think outside the box?"
Candidate: "Well, if I had to think outside the box for this question, wouldn't that mean I'm now inside some sort of meta-box contemplating the outside of the original box? But sure, let's step into this conceptual box for a moment. There was this one time when our team was stuck on a project deadline, and conventional solutions weren't working. I suggested we invert our entire approach - literally. We turned the problem upside down, which not only solved our issue but also led to an innovation in how we handle similar projects. Now, does that answer box us back into the initial query, or have we created a new paradigm?"
This response showcases wit by playing with the concept of the question itself, using wordplay and a touch of philosophical humor.

Well, this is not Oscar Wilde's level of wit, but somewhere near Kamala Harris.
Definitions are correct, but understanding is sub-par.
