It's not knwledge or wisdom, the original meaning of wit is also defined as "quickness of fancy", among the nine definitions. In Webster's Dictionary, wit is defined as "the association of ideas in a manner natural, but unusual and striking, so as to produce surprise joined with pleasure".
An episode of television series The Simpsons defined wit, in Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield as "nothing more than an incisive observation, humorously phrased and delivered with impeccable timing."
Shakespeare's Polonius said, "Brevity is the soul of wit."
Another possible definition of wit, or humor, loosely attributable to Freud, is "anger, turned sideways".
Wit is a form of intellectual humor. A wit is someone skilled in making witty remarks, typically spontaneously and in conversation.

You used to be able to simply walk in and purchase wit at Wal-Mart, but the high school students kept going in and "lifting" it off the shelves. When that happened, they moved it to check out lane 17 and you had to show ID.
Shortly thereafter, they took it out of the stores altogether because too many students were faking the IDs and it just wasn't worth the policing effort.
Now, walmart.com used to sell 3-packs of wit online, but I haven't tried to look it up there for quite some time.
It looks like you're going to have to grow your own wit at home. Start with a seedling in an empty egg carton and move it outdoors once it's about 2 inches tall. Squirrels like wit, though, so you're going to have to cage it in somehow.
Good luck.
