Smart, funny people (4)

I believe the answer is:

wits

(Other definitions for wits that I've seen before include "Mental faculties" , "Keep them about you to stay alert" , "They express themselves humorously" , "Senses" , "Humorous people" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
