Funniest Joke??

[JohnnyO]

This was voted funniest joke ever by Laughlab.


"Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go camping, and pitch their tent under the stars. During the night, Holmes wakes his companion and says: `Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you deduce.'

Watson says: `I see millions of stars, and even if a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like Earth, and if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life.'

Holmes replies: `Watson, you idiot. Somebody stole our tent.' "

This came in second place ... I like this one better.


"Two hunters from New Jersey are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing. The other whips out his mobile phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps out to the operator: "My friend is dead. What can I do?"

The operator in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy. First let's make sure he's dead."

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

I've heard the other - but not this one - that made me laugh...

These jokes were rated by the "Laughlab"? What sort of metrics and calculations did they use to determine which joke was the funniest? Was there actual evidence gathering? Did they use a placebo?


I'll take a good Henny Youngman joke over those any day.

I think they are voting on it .. I guess what's funny in one place is not funny in another.
