I don’t know if I’m smart or not, but I think part of the joke is that the husband doesn’t recognize that his now-wife is his former best friend, and that unlikely circumstance kept me from understanding the joke even though I read the explanation. (Not the explanation in this thread but the more ambiguous one in the other thread.)
I’m smart and I though she murdered his friend
I’m drunk and I though she murdered his friend
Smart and drunk are basically synonyms

Im norwegian, and I was a question mark until I read the comments which made me transition into an exclamation mark.
Does it say something about me that I got the joke immediately?
Me too. Do you happen to be an engineer as well?
Erm… no, that can’t be it…
Were you dropped on you head as a child like me… repeatedly?
Maybe once or twice, but I don’t think that’s why I got the joke without reading an explanation…
