Joke works every time
The funniest joke on Earth was rated higher than the other 39,000 in the study by laughter Which took place in 2001. It was proposed at that time by a 31-year-old Englishman, Gurpal Gosall. Concretely, during the experiment, the participants could send their jokes and make notes of others’ jokes by giving them a note. This is the one with the highest rating:
“Two New Jersey hunters were in the woods when one of them suddenly collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolling. The other hunter pulls out his cell phone and calls 911. My friend is dead!” he said, panting to the employee. what can I do ? what can I do ? The operator said to him in a calm, relaxed voice, “Calm down. I can help you. First, let’s make sure he’s dead. There was silence and a gunshot was heard. Then the hunter picked up the phone and said, ‘Well, what now?” »»

The man behind this project, Dr. Richard Wiseman, explains why this joke won gold. Thus he says: “This joke is interesting because it works in many different countries, it appeals to men and women, young and old.
