What makes a great Wise Ass? Or more to the point, why on Earth would any society revere a character so hell bent on sardonicism? Charm and charisma are undoubtedly answers to these questions but, then again, Hitler was said to be charismatic and the emotionally stunted cast of TOWIE continue to propagate relationships based on their charms so these two answers lack satisfaction really. The innate ability to at once, conjure a hilariously worded put down, stupefy the easily confused and crumble a victims point/argument to dust with which to make their bread; these are reasons why the Wise Asses are most revered.
