The Funniest Joke In The World ~ Friday Humor

Two million people from 70 countries voted on 40,000 jokes in a 2002 study by Dr. Richard Wiseman. Dr. Wiseman from the University of Hertfordshire and the British Association for the Advancement of Science goal was to find out the funniest joke in the world. Here’s 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 and his eyes have rolled back in his head.

The other guy whips out his mobile phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a soothing voice, says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”

There’s a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?”

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” ~ Thomas J. Watson
