According to an article at
http://www.salon.com/mwt/wire/2002/10/03/jokes/index.html, after a year-long
search, a British psychology professor has determined that this is the
world's funniest joke:
"A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls
to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in
his head.
"The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He
gasps to the operator: 'My friend is dead! What can I do?'
"The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: 'Just take it easy. I can help.
First, let's make sure he's dead.'
"There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the
line. He says: 'OK, now what?"'
It's an okay joke, but I read funnier stuff on this list every day . . .
