You can tell how smart people are by what they laugh at.
Interpretation
The intelligence of a person can be gauged by their sense of humor and what they find amusing.
Tina Fey's quote suggests that humor is a reflection of intellect. When people laugh at clever observations or insightful jokes, it often indicates a level of understanding and intelligence. Thus, examining what individuals find funny can reveal much about their cognitive abilities and perspectives on life.
In practice

To imply otherwise is a disservice to us both.
‘How do you juggle it all?’ people constantly ask me, with an accusatory look in their eyes. ‘You’re screwing it all up, aren’t you?’ their eyes say.

Or sometimes I just hand them a juicy red apple I’ve poisoned in my working-mother witch cauldron and fly away.
I play the guitar. I taught myself how to play the guitar, which was a bad decision... because I didn't know how to play it, so I was a shitty teacher. I would never have went to me.
I am not a person who yells at all, but I realized that I have always felt so good after doing the Tarzan yell, after doing Charo, or screaming as Eunice.
