The World's Best Joke

The LaughLab project set out to find the world's funniest joke. For a year, people around the world sent their best jokes to the LaughLab website and/or rated their favorites. In 2002 the project scientists announced the results. So here is what has been deemed the world's funniest 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?"
