humourous

Preparing to see a stand-up comedy show tonight, therefore, I wiki-ed the word "humour", and found something very interesting about it. It said, humour or humor is the ability or quality of people, objects, or situations to evoke feelings of amusement in other people. The origin of the term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which stated that a mix of fluids known as humours (literally: juice or sap; metaphorically: flavour) controlled human health and emotion. (How nice!) No wonder sometimes when I felt low or depressed, my body will immediately urgue for a bottle of cranberry juice. Yes, Red juice is very humourous to me at the moment.
