Quote »The world's funniest joke?By DIANE KINGTHE world’s funniest joke was unveiled by scientists today at the end of the largest study of humour ever undertaken.For the past year people around the world have been invited to judge jokes on an internet site as well as contribute quips of their own.The LaughLab experiment conducted by psychologist Dr Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire, attracted more than 40,000 jokes and almost two million votes.And the joke which received the highest global rating - submitted by 31-year-old psychiatrist Gurpal Gosall from Manchester - was: 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?’" Link to full story --> http://news.scotsman.com/scitech.cfm?id=1096842002(May require that you register at Scotsman.com to read the full article story)It's just NOT that funny. There are LOTS of things posted in this forum that are funnier than that!

That may have been funny, but some asshat MI hunter was just convicted in WI today of killing 6 others for harassing him.So that kind of took the ha ha out that one.
