Pete's Log: funniest joke

According to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, this is 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 man pulls out his phone and calls emergency services. He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator in a calm, soothing voice replies: "Take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the hunter says, "Ok, now what?"

Another result of this British study of humor is that if you're going to tell a joke involving animals, your best bet is to use ducks. I guess ducks are funny.
