World’s Funniest Joke : Funniest Joke of the Day
September 11th 2007 · Posted by Bobby Griffin · Comments
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 takes 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 gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: “OK, now what?”

This joke is a very special winner, as it has won a very prestigious joke award. In 2002, a group called the LaughLab in Britain conducted a study of the world’sFunniest Joke with about 40,000 jokes and 2 million votes from all over the world (not numbers we’ve quite reached at Blankest Blank yet). Though some jokes may have been funnier in the US, this one was the funniest with universal appeal. Thanks to CNN.com for the full story.

A prestigious joke award? They have those now?
I tend to find the “Jews did WTC” conspiracy theories funnier, and still even funnier is the people and news organizations, like CNN, who take them seriously.
