What is a sentence in which word humorously misused?

"The detective was so humorous he could solve any case by simply making the suspect laugh until they confessed."

Here, "humorous" is misused because it suggests that the detective is funny, when the sentence actually implies that the detective is skilled at detecting lies through observation and deduction.
