The phrase means that the use of sarcasm is the least intelligent use of your mental and verbal faculties. Which is, of course, nonsense, as sarcasm in its many forms can be one of the most effective weapons. The only sense in which wits might be a considered a list is in the very archaic use of the 'five wits' to mean the 'five bodily senses' of taste, smell, touch, sight and hearing.
