World's Funniest Joke!

http://abcnews.go.com/wir...3_666.html

"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?'"




I prefer this one:

"Texan: 'Where are you from?'

"Harvard graduate: 'I come from a place where we do not end our sentences with prepositions.'

"Texan: 'OK, where are you from, jackass?'"


The study also goes on to include some observations about how different nationalities respond to humor:

...Germans were the most likely to find all types of jokes funny, while Canadians were the least amused of the 10 top responding nations.

The British, Irish, Australians and New Zealanders favored jokes involving wordplay, while continental Europeans liked jokes with a surreal bent. Americans and Canadians preferred jokes invoking a strong sense of superiority either because a character looks stupid or is made to look stupid by someone else...

So I did click on the link and I saw the same moronic jokes you posted.

Here's a Ten spot, $5 for a sense of humor and another $5 for a Clue.


Run (don't walk) and get one.

I have no control over my sarcastic comments, they just flow out of me.

Well, i still like this one :

A man and his wife were driving through the beautiful Welsh countryside one day when they came across a roadsign which read Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantysiliogogogoch(The longest town-name in the world). The husband says the name and his wife laughs."That's not how you pronounce it, she says and proceeds to say it herself. Her husband nearly crashes the car laughing and they start debating how to pronounce the name.
Well the debate soon becomes an argument and coming up to lunchtime they pull into a restaurant in the town whose name is the subject of the argument. As they're settling their bill, the wife says to the cashier, Excuse me, but would you mind settling an argument between my huband and me? Could you possibly pronounce the name of where we are, only please do it very very slowly.

The cashier leans forward and says...
"Buuurrrgggeeerrr Kiiinnnggg"
You don't scare me; i got kids
