From a screenwriting newsgroup (and the link doesn't lead to more
jokes - bummer)
"LaughLab was a huge scientific experiment to discover the world's
funniest joke.
http://www.laughlab.co.uk
And the winner:
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?"
The runner-up (my favourite):
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After a good
dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to
sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend.
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
"I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes" replies Watson.
"And what do you deduce from that?"
Watson ponders for a minute.
"Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies
and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that
Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is
approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that
we
will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God
is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the
universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?"
Holmes is silent for a moment. "Watson, you idiot!" he says.
"Someone
has stolen our tent!""
Bop! It's Friday.
