World’s Funniest Joke
Okay, so this is pretty old news, but some of you may not have heard about it and there’s always a need for some good humor and discussion on a Friday, so I thought I’d post this anyway…
Back in Oct 2002, LaughLab did a study to find the World’s funniest joke. 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 study also reported the top joke by country. The top US joke was:
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.”
What do you think? Got a better joke? Let us know. I might post the top 5 jokes in my Top 5 Lists section one day…

Haha, the funniest joke in America is a lot funnier than the funniest joke in the world! And speaking of golfing Chris, I’m getting moved back to first shift starting the 17th, so we need to go hit a few balls before it gets too cold.

But if it was a soccer joke more people in the world could have identified with it. Okay let’s not go there.

You mean something like this:
A man and his teammates are playing soccer one day at their local soccer fields. One of the guys is about to score a goal when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the fields. He stops in mid-kick, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His teammates say: “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. Gooooooooaaaaaaaaalllllllll”
