What's the proper way to deal with a hump in the edge of a board you
are jointing.

One that lifts the front off, then when you transfer to the infeed
side, you lift the tail off the table.

If the hump is so that the piece rocks when on a flat surface, start
with the piece barely on the out feed table and run to the middle of
the piece. Then turn the piece around and do the same thing and run
back to the cut you just made. Take a small amount at a time to avoid
tear out, as one way will be against the grain. Repeat as neccessary.
Once the piece is as straight as possible make a final full pass with
the grain.
