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?"

Wasn't the funniest joke in the world used by the Brits in WWII to kill entrenched Germans? I saw a documentary on it on some show called "Flying Carnival" or "Soaring Circus" or something like that.

I think the funniest line from the article is this:
"Many jokes submitted contained references to animals. Jokes mentioning ducks were considered particularly funny."

It reminds me of one of my favorites.
Q. Why do ducks have webbed feet?
A. To put out forest fires.

Q. Why do bears have big feet?
A. To put out flaming ducks.

Giggle... that was cute.

Lox - I do believe you are referring to Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Excellent show, that.

There is a massive scene on Star Trek: Voyager 7.8, "Workforce Part 1" that is absolutely hilarious!

It is where Tom tries to get a job at a bar, and he says he is the best bartender etc.

Eventually he had to say "I was fired! I need the work!".

Believe me, you see it, you laugh!

I had read that one of the funniest jokes, according to some poll, was this one by Henny Youngman.

Take my wife. Please!

My cousin says,
"The best party-introduction line is.....
MOSES!"

It does work, he tried it!

The funniest ones are true:

The following is an ad from a real-life newspaper which appeared four days in a row - the last three hopelessly trying to correct the first day's mistake.

MONDAY: For sale: R.D. Jones has one sewing machine for sale. Pbone 948-0707 after 7 P.M.. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives with him cheap.

TUESDAY Notice: We regret having erred In R.D. Jones' ad yesterday. It should have read "One sewing machine for sale cheap. Phone 948-0707 and ask for Mrs. Kelly, who lives with him after 7 P.M."

WEDNESDAY Notice: R.D. Jones has informed us that he has received several annoying telephone calls because of the error we made in the classified ad yesterday. The ad stands correct as follows: "For sale -- R.D. Jones has one sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 948-0707 after 7 P.M. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who loves with him."

THURSDAY Notice: I, R.D. Jones, have no sewing machine for sale. I smashed it. Don't call 948-0707 as I have had the phone disconnected. I have not been carrying on with Mrs. Kelly. Until yesterday she was my housekeeper but she quit!
