Funniest Jokes around the World...

There was a year-long study done in 2001 at the University of
Herfordshire to find the funniest joke in the world. Professor Richard
Wiseman led the study. It involved people sending in their favorite jokes
as well as people rating how funny they found these jokes. They received
over 40,000 jokes and 1.5 million ratings. The jokes below were rated the
funniest in world (I've posted it before.) and in the U.S. (it's new). In the
next couple/few days I will be posting jokes rated the top in seven or eight
different countries. The rest of the jokes are new to this blog.
I hope you enjoy!!


Joke Rated Funniest in the World

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them
falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled
back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the
emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead!
What can I do?”

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: "Just take it easy. I can
help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot
is heard.

The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?"

Joke Rated Funniest in the U. S.

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course.
One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long
funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in
mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down
in prayer.

His friend says, “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching
thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.”

The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”
