The World’s Funniest Joke

In 2001 Richard Wiseman and The British Association for the Advancement of Science undertook the task of discovering the world’s funniest joke. For your enjoyment, here is the winning joke:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?”. The operator says “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says “OK, now what?”
