Funniest Joke on the earth

Cultures vary greatly in their perception of what's funny -- you'll realize this if you happen to travel to an international culture and make an attempt to translate a joke that helpful in your native culture.  This fact didn't stop Professor Richard Wiseman (with the The British Association for the Advancement of Science) to attempt to determine what is the really short funny jokes in the world.  The joke had to be ranked highest among many countries of vastly different cultures.

The project determined a request for joke submissions.  The consequence was 40,000 jokes.  The study had the jokes rated by way of large sample population from diverse areas with the globe.  The project was formally called LaughLab.

I've often thought that if mankind ever discovered the funniest joke on the globe, he may get caught in a constant state of laughter and never regain his composure, possibly resulting in cardiac arrest or asphyxiation.  For example, he may laugh himself to death.  I wondered if perhaps an ancient people had discovered the short funny joke, coupled with determined that it's deadly for everyone to hear.  Maybe it's hidden in a traditional realm -- like the ark of this covenant -- possibly guarded by an extensive line of comedians.  Will it be like the DaVinci Code: A secret that mankind never was meant to uncover?

We may never know that answer, but at least we'll understand Dr. Wiseman determined to function as funniest joke across all cultures,  Fortunately it certainly can't send you right into a deadly laughing fit.  In line with a multi-cultural sample, the really funny joke is the following:

A couple of the latest Jersey hunters are out from the woods when one of them falls to a floor. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back within his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps for the operator: "My friend is dead! Exactly what do I do?" The operator, from a calm soothing voice says: "All you have to it easy. I am able to help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a trial is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the cloths line. He says: "OK, ok now what?

Don't die on me -- it is not that funny.
