“I didn’t know Viagra was a painkiller!”

Finally, here is the best joke in the world according to a study:
“Two hunters are in the woods when one of them suddenly collapses. He appears not to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other hunter pulls out his cell phone and calls 911. Gasping for air, he tells the operator, “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm, soothing voice, tells him, “Calm down. I can help you. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is silence, then a gunshot is heard. The hunter then picks up the phone again and says, “OK, now what?”
You may not be guaranteed a laugh, but chances are you cracked a smile. According to one study, the famous hunter joke seems universal. “It hits the mark in many countries and appeals to both men and women, young and old,” says Richard Wiseman, the researcher behind this unusual experiment. According to him, this joke is particularly amusing because it makes us feel superior to the clumsy hunter. An intuition that Les Inconnus had clearly already captured in 1991, when they created their cult sketch about hunters.
