Hump Day

Aren't we all excited for "Hump Day"? An English language idiom for Wednesday is "hump day", a reference to making it through the middle of the work week as getting "over the hump". It is also unofficially (and with some irony) referred to as "the peak of the week".

So my next question, when did the word Hump become bad? And why does it make me laugh when I say it outloud??
