	Humour Summary
		A sense of humour is the ability to experience humour, a quality which all people share, although the extent to which an individual will personally find something humorous depends on a host of absolute and relative variables, including, but not limited to geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education and context.
		The term "humour" as formerly applied in comedy, referred to the interpenetration of the sublime and the ridiculous.
		In this context, humour is often a subjective experience as it depends on a special mood or perspective from its audience to be effective.

		A sense of humour is the ability to experience humour, a quality which all people share, although the extent to which an individual will personally find something humourous depends on a host of absolute and relative variables, including but not limited to sex, age, geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education and context.
		Notable studies of humour have come from the pens of Aristotle in The Poetics (Part V), of Sigmund Freud in Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious and of Arthur Schopenhauer.
		Americans visiting Australia have gained themselves a reputation for gullibility and a lack of a sense of humour by not recognising that tales of kangaroos hopping across the Sydney Harbour Bridge exemplify the propensity for this style of leg-pulling.

	Humour
		Humour (humor in American English) is a form of entertainment and a form of human communication, intended to make people laugh and feel happy.
		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.
		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.

	The Last Laugh: The Power of Culture extract
		Humour is highly effective when it is taken at more than face value, when it is used as more than just a bandaid, and when it is understood to be an indicator, driver and change agent of corporate culture.
		This is because one of the characteristics of humour is incongruity.
		Humour is a tool for studying the social forces in an organisation because the content and form of humour reflects social relations, power distributions and changes in both.

		Wendy Lawson introduces humour therapy as a significant aspect of integrated healthcare, as part of the three-way relationship between patient, carer and health professional.
		She demonstrates that humour therapy is often seen as something frivolous because it is associated with enjoyment.
		Humour therapy can, therefore, give patients a voice and a means of reframing their experiences.

		Of particular significance was the emphasis placed on recognising the three-way relationship between patient, carer and health professional, and the role of the health professional in giving patients and carers a voice with which to articulate their experience.
		Since humour is already acknowledged as a channel through which people make powerful statements about their personal worlds, these parallels cannot help but invite us to give serious consideration to the interaction model of humour therapy.
		Because it enables humour to be readily broken down into a number of component parts, it can assist practitioners to assess not only how and why patients and carers may be using humour, but also to identify the genres and techniques which they may employ.
