"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?"

It made me a laugh a bit when I first heard it but come on - there must be funnier stuff than this..

"The LaughLab experiment conducted by psychologist Dr Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire, attracted more than 40,000 jokes and almost two million ratings."
Two million ratings? That's not exactly a broad cross-section, and the very nature of the poll - internet based - excludes a large amount of the world's population.
Also, as someone else pointed out elsewhere a few days ago (something to do with beans on toast), do these organisations have nothing more important to spend their grant money researching?

That was in response to the original post, not phi11ip!

Indeed - what a damn waste of money this is just to try and scientifically prove the funniest joke ?
It's all dependent on personal taste etc anyway. Daft.
A speedbump!!
Rather crude and apolagies to all you goths out there!!
