If it was my kid (the summer intern), I might try to keep a straight face to tell her it was a mistake, but not really. I am sure the intern thought no one could be that stupid not to catch on right away. Sense of humor is a sign of intelligence.



If it is good witty humor, yes.

If it is not, at best it comes across as extremely juvenile/childish*, at worst it can be used as a form of bullying others.

Neither is considered a sign of intelligence…unless one’s standards are lower than that of a submarine cruising the floor of the ocean trenches.


I’ve known of some colleagues whose careers stalled or crashed & burned almost immediately after college graduation because their attempts at humor were such that they ended up with a serious credibility problem. At best, exceedingly immature “class clown” types who aren’t fit for the company/group or worthy of serious consideration for promotion beyond entry-level or worse, sense of humor so offensive they could actually pose a serious liability in terms of losing potential clients and attracting lawsuits from offended clients and co-workers.
