my brain thinks of really interesting (to me) random things that'll sidetrack a conversation then I remember I have to be a normal human being so I just let it dwell on my mind 😭
I figure people who are very witty just have so many good ideas in their head all the time that they can afford to discard most of them
It's more like a matter of reflex. When you spend your life telling jokes your brain gets used to thinking of perfect comebacks in nano seconds after each people says something. I have to control myself super hard not to say the shit the comes to my mind all the time.

Staircase wit!
I am very familiar with it. And here I am five hours later showing it! Except that I wasn't very witty.
