LONDON, England -- The world's funniest joke has been revealed after a year-long search by scientists.

In an experiment conducted in Britain, people around the world were invited to judge jokes on an Internet site as well as contribute their own.

The LaughLab research, carried out by psychologist Dr. Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire, attracted more than 40,000 jokes and almost two million ratings.

And here it is...

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 takes out his phone and calls the emergency services. 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 gunshot is heard.
Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

 

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the
family business.
 
When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly
father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his
fortune.
 
One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful
woman  he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.
 
'I may look like just an ordinary man,' he said to her, but in just a few
years, my father will die, and I'll inherit $65 million.'

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days later,
she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at financial planning than men.
