Literature | Humour As good humour, ill or had humour, etc. According to an ancient theory, there are four principal humours in the body: phlegm, blood, choler, and black bile. As any one of these predominates it determines the temper of the mind and body; hence the expressions sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, and melancholic humours. A just balance made a good compound called "good humour;" a preponderance of any one of the four made a bad compound called an ill or evil humour. (See Ben Jonson .

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Humour (humor in American English) is a form of entertainment and a form of human communication, intended to make people laugh and feel happy. The origins of the word are in the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, the word meaning fluid.Further references:
There are different types of humour which appeal to different sectors of humanity - for instance, slapstick is particularly popular with young children, while satire tends to be more popular with the older and better-educated. Humour is usually localized and does not easily transfer from one culture to another. This happens because humour is often context sensitive and someone not understanding the context will usually not understand the humour. Various techniques are used to deliver humour:
- Clowns
- Comedy and Comedians
- Comedy film
- Comicss
- Internet humor
- Jokes
- Practical jokes and pranks
- Professional humour, e.g. lawyer jokes
- Ribaldry
- Toilet humour
- Humour in crime fiction
there are many more
- Slapstick
- Joke
- Sarcasm
- Satire
- Parody
- Adages, often in the form of parody "lawss" of nature
- Practical joke: deliberately luring someone into a humourous position and then laughing at their expense
- Silly acts inappropriate for the situation or age of person
- Fake stern manner that is inappropriate in a comic setting
- Ridiculous gestures and movements
- Deliberate ambiguity and confusion with reality (such as in Andy Kaufman's humour)
- Play of words such as oxymorons, puns etc.
- Unexpected outcome, such as a witty punchline.
- Wit, as in many one-liners.
- Absurdity
- Triple
- Irony
- Humorous "Lawss" such as Murphy's law
- Self inflicted embarrassing situation, e.g. losing one's swimming trunks after a dive.
- Comic sounds or inherently funny words with certain sounds that make them amusing in a particular language
- Self-degradation (such as in Rodney Dangerfield's humor)
- Faking stupidity
- Pointing out real stupidity (such as the Darwin Awards)
- Stereotyping (such as blonde jokes, lawyer jokes, racial jokes etc.)
- Inflicting pain (such as kick in the groin or in the movie "Home Alone", etc)
It has been claimed that humour cannot be explained. However, attempts can be made, such as this one:
Perhaps the essence of humour is the presentation of something familar to a person, so they think they know the natural follow-on thought or conclusion, then providing a twist through presentation of the opposite of what was expected, or else the natural result of interpreting the original situation in a different, less common, way. For example:
A man speaks to his doctor after an operation. He says, "Doc, now that the surgery is done, will I be able to play the piano?" The doctor replies "Of course!" The man says "Good, because I couldn't before!"
Studies of humour:
There also exist linguistic and psycholinguistic studies or humour, irony, parody and pretense. Some prominent theoreticians of this field are:
- Aristotle - The Poetics, Part V
- Sigmund Freud - Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious
- Arthur Schopenhauer
Users of some psychoactive drugs tend to find humour in many more situations and events than one normally would.
- Raymond Gibbs
- Herbert Clark
- Salvatore Attardo
One notable trait of Australians, inherited from the British, is the use of deadpan humor, in which the joker will make an outrageous or ridiculous statement without explicitly indicating they are joking. Americans visiting Australia have gained themselves a reputation for gullibility and a lack of a sense of humor by not recognising that tales of kangaroos hopping across the Sydney Harbour Bridge are examples of this propensity.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The four humours were four fluids that were supposed to permeate the body and influence its health. The concept was developed by ancient Greek thinkers around 400 BC and it was directly linked with another popular theory of the four elements (Empedocles). Paired qualities were associated with each humour and its season. The four humours, their corresponding elements, seasons and sites of formation, and resulting temperaments are :
Humour Season Element Organ Qualities Temperament
Blood spring air liver warm & moist sanguine
Phlegm winter water brain/lungs cold & moist phlegmatic
Yellow bile summer fire gall bladder warm & dry choleric
Black bile autumn earth spleen cold & dry melancholic It is believed that Hippocrates was the one who applied this idea to medicine. Humouralism as a medical theory retained its popularity for centuries largely through the influence of the writings of Galen (131-201). While Galen thought that humours were formed in the body, rather than ingested, he believed that different foods had varying potential to be acted upon the body to produce different humours. Warm foods, for example, tended to produce yellow bile, while cold foods tended to produce phlegm. Seasons of the year, periods of life, geographic regions and occupations also influenced the nature of the humours formed.
The imbalance of humours, or "dyscrasia", was thought to be the direct cause of all diseases. Health was associated with a balance the humours, or eucrasia.The qualities of the humours, in turn, influenced the nature of the diseases they caused. Yellow bile caused warm diseases and phlegm caused cold diseases.
In On the Temperaments Galen further emphasized the importance of the qualities. An ideal temperament involved a balanced mixture of the four qualities. Galen identified four temperaments in which one of the qualities, warm, cold, moist and dry, predominated and four more in which a combination of two, warm and moist, warm and dry, cold and dry and cold and moist, dominated. These last four, named for the humours with which they were associated-- that is, sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic, eventually became better known than the others. While the term "temperament" came to refer just to psychological dispositions, Galen used it to refer to bodily dispositions, which determined a person's susceptibility towards particular diseases as well as behavioral and emotional inclinations.
Methods of treatment like blood letting, emetics and purges were aimed at expelling a harmful surplus of a humour.
Although completely refuted by modern science the theory formed basis of thinking about causes of health problems for more than a thousand years. It was seriously challenged only just before the 17th century.
There is still a remnant of the theory of the four humours in the current medical language, we refer to humoral immunity or humoral regulation to mean substances like hormones and antibodies that are circulated throughout the body.
The theory was a modest advance over the previous views on human health that tried to explain in terms of the divine. Since then practitioners started to look for natural causes of disease and to provide natural treatments.
The Unani school of Indian medicine, still apparently practiced in India, is very similar to Galenic medicine in the emphasis on the four humors and in the treatments based on controlling intake, general environment the use of purging as a way of relieving humoral imbalances.
