This is the joke deemed the funniest. It was sent from Manchester, UK, by a 31-year-old psychiatrist, but it was invented by the great British writer and comedian Spike Milligan:

A couple of hunters from New Jersey are in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are vacant. The friend immediately calls for help on the phone. He screams: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”. “Try to calm down, I can help you,” the operator replies. “First, make sure he’s really dead.” A moment of silence, then a gunshot is heard. “Okay. Now what?”
