There are literally thousands of websites dealing with humor.

Today I am wondering about superstition and perhaps gossip that is humorous. For instance, suppose you hear a funny anecdote about someone who makes modest, but determined, efforts in avoiding the path of a black cat traveling over his own. If the anecdote is told without great exaggeration--more a comical tale of an understandable, realistic amount of exaggeration--it wouldn't qualify quite exactly as hyperbolic humor. Would it simply be a humorous tale because of its controled (even understated) exaggeration--or is there perhaps a specific kind of brand name for humor dealing with superstitions?
