 Humour and International Challenges
One of the main challenges is that much appreciated humour is "politically incorrect" in that jokes are often at the expense of stereotypes and scapegoats.
Consistent with one of the principles of positive humour (http://www.callamer.com/itc/aath/affirm.html), namely: "All teasing and ethnic humour will be by mutual consent and will go both ways or I will not engage in such humor", it should be possible to locate equivalent jokes illustrating the same point but from the opposite ethnic or cultural perspective.
Humour appears to be intimately related to deprived or stressed social circumstances (as are documented in the Encyclopedia) and often seems to arise from them.

Toilet humour or potty humour (humor in American English) is a type of humour dealing with bodily toilet functions.
This genre also sees substantial crossover with the genre of sexual humour, most likely because of the multiple-function nature of the body parts involved in both genres as well as the sexual fetishism involved with certain toilet functions.
Toilet humour also refers to jokes around modesty, such as if one is seen naked or in his/her undergarments.

 The UVic Writer's Guide: Humour
The term humour is used to refer to anything comical in literature; in terms of characters, it includes their appearance, behaviour, and speech.
The humorous differs from the witty mainly in that wit applies to speech alone; moreover, humorous language is not artfully phrased, and the amusement it arouses can be unintentional.
In the medieval and renaissance periods, "humour" referred to the four major qualities of the human body, corresponding to the four elements, which determined human personality (choleric, melancholic, phlegmatic, sanguine).

 Christian humour online
After all, for Christians, humour needs to be about truth, love and seeing things more clearly; so laughter and humour can have a redemptive and revealing outcome, and can indicate spiritual and emotional health.
Christian humour is a two-edged sword, and while it can enlighten by exaggerating absurdities and the taken-for-granted, and offer welcome laughs, it can also offend, and be seen as smirking and destructive.
Christian humour sites may not be everyone's cup of tea (or low-fat latte with sprinkles), but they bear witness to the growing power and evolving presence of Christianity on the Web.
