According to a survey of 300,000 people, it has been determined that THIS is the funniest joke in the world: 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 911. 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?" |

The key to whether you think a joke is funny is how you process information. A study done on men found that they like slap stick because they take it for what it is and women don't because they like to analyze information and there isn't anything to think about with this comedy type. Maybe this joke falls into a slap stick genre? Wish I had the study site ear marked, but I don't, so I'm sorry I'm dispensing paraphrased study info. I do love reading the joke threads because I'm a firm believer that laughter is very good medicine! So, thanks to everyone for the daily dose of laughter endorphins. Patty

Patty -- Maybe this one doesn't seem so funny to us because we live so close to guys like this. Well, I do. You might have to go half a mile beyond the village limits to find them out your way. Just sounds like my next door neighbor to me. Dorothy |

I'm still laughing about the joke and I read it yesterday! My mom & I have a very dry (and wry) sense of humor. Half of the time she'd crack herself up telling a story because she'd picture it in her mind at the same time. Tears are streaming down her face from laughing so hard (she couldn't finish the story sometimes) and my father would just sit at the dinner table and smile. - Maureen.

Americans and Canadians prefer gags where there was a sense of superiority – either because a person looked stupid, or was made to look stupid by another person, such as: Texan: “Where are you from?” Harvard grad: “I come from a place where we do not end our sentences with prepositions.” Texan: “Okay – where are you from, jackass?” funniest Joke for UK residents A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: “That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!” The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: “The driver just insulted me!” The man says: “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you.” looks like you and I visit the same websites Kaytee

Dorothy, have you ever thought of doing stand up comedy? Between sewing for your daughter's wedding and your neighborhood, I think you have enough material (hahahaha ) to put together a pretty good routine

Dorothy and Jan, you'll have to collaborate then. Jan can make the props....she has all that practice with the knitted body parts. Where can I buy tickets for your first performance? Patty

Well, that's a mixed review! It just goes to show you the beauty in that we are all different! I guess it caught my eye in the newspaper for two reasons: 1) they surveyed 300,000 people to get the 'funniest joke' result - I found THAT pretty funny in itself; and, 2) the joke's author (whose name I've forgotten) has written a lot of comedy for Woody Allen - someone I normally don't find that funny. Mozeyrn, I'm with you - it still cracks me up when I think of it! |
