The funniest joke in the world?

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of
them collapses. He doesn't seem to be
breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other
guy takes out his phone and calls the
emergency services.

He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?"
The operator says: "Calm down, I can help.
First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a
silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the
phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

Ahhhh.... maybe you just had to be there. Or maybe, according to the same article that describes this as the world's funniest joke (according to a study done in Britan), it would have been funnier if they worked ducks into it?
