My collegue at work said he'd read somewhere that this was voted the funniest joke. While it's funny, is it the funniest though?

Two (here you choose an area that they are from that relates to people who are not so bright, It can vary depending where you live, I won't name areas so as not to upset anyone
) men were out walking, when one of them drops to the floor, the other grabs his phone in a panic and dials 999 "Oh! God help me, my friend has dropped dead" he cried. The ambulance person on the phone says "Calm down, first we need to make sure he is dead" She then hears a gunshot "Now what" the man asks.

Well, what's the verdict?

I get it, but its kinda stupid. So, the person's so dumb that he thinks you shoot something to make sure it's dead, right?
I think its funnier if you fill in your own place. I've noticed that jokes like that are always between people who are very similar, like where I'm from they make fun of Kentucky (and vice versa) but the only difference is a state line!

You can never tell about a person's sense of humor and what they will find funny. I once won $5 in a contest for the funniest joke, yet the joke I entered was one the dumbest I knew. I don't know why I entered it, I think because it was short and I just felt like entering something.

Yet it won. I couldn't believe it. The fact it won was funnier than the joke.

It went:

A man went into a doctor's office. He had a banana sticking out of one ear, a zucchini sticking out of the other ear, and a carrot sticking out of each nostril.

He said, "Doctor, what's wrong with me?"

The doctor said, "You're not eating properly."

However, there is a joke I know that is my all-time favorite joke of all time that I do think is the funniest joke ever, but because of a bit of off-color language in it (that is necessary to the joke -- can't be told without it), I can't post it here.

However (and I hope this is okay with the administration) since I know children are not allowed Private Message privileges in the forum, I will private message the joke to anyone who asks. It's not that bad, I wouldn't offer if it was, and it's really quite funny, but not something I wouldn't post here.

Then there is what has been labeled officially "The Perfect Joke." Here is a link to that ...

And as it is labeled, it is free, and clean.

Eh, it's alright. I prefer the "Two men walk into a bar... you think one would have seen it coming." XD

OK, here's another one for you, no claims on this one, just pinched from another message site. None related to this, so I don't think anyone will shout.

He ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.

He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them kept looking over and whispering. You could tell they were thinking, "That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them."

As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said they were just fine - They were used to sharing everything.

The surrounding people noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.

Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said "No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything."

As the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked "What is it you are waiting for?"

She answered

(wait for it)

Probably at work :(

This joke reminds me of a real 911 call I heard online one day while browsing, here goes:

911: May I help you?
Lady: Yes, my postman is not breathing.
911: Your postman is not breathing?!
Lady: No.
911: What happened to cause him to quit breathing?
Lady: I gave him a lotto ticket for Christmas and he won 100,000 and he's on my floor not breathing (fumbling noise in background...Thump!!!!!)
911: He passed out from shock when he won?
Lady: OMG! He's breathing. (thump!! thump!!)
911: What's that noise?
Lady: He keeps waking up...thump...its my lotto ticket--he's not keeping it!!

Turns out the lady is hitting him with a skillet trying to knock him out and keep his lotto ticket.
I couldn't believe it!!

That's funnier than the joke. I concede, it's not the funniest joke. Real life is a lot funnier.
