Better than being attacked by vicious gangs of "KEEP LEFT" signs

Today from the random-stuff file… Discovery News reminds us that in 2002, British social scientists set out to find the funniest joke in the world.
Researchers from the University of Herfordshire started a “LaughLab” program to test jokes in a cross-cultural context across all demographics. They asked people around the world to submit jokes — and to rate how funny they found jokes submitted by peers.
The winner worldwide? This little gem submitted by a psychiatrist in Manchester, England. It involves hunters in New Jersey — maybe British hunters just aren’t as funny.

I guess you had to be there.
What about the 2 British hunters that came back early when they saw a “BEAR LEFT” sign along the way.
That this title, let alone a University Degree for it, even exists is what's wrong with this world.
“We’ll let you know.”
*Gunshot*
I barely cracked a smile at the first joke — I thought it predictable and slightly depraved. The second joke (the one that was the “funniest” for Americans), though somewhat predictable and slightly cruel, made me laugh outloud!

So these two social scientists walk into a bar...
How does he smell?
AWFUL!
With thanks to Monty Python
The funniest joke (which has to be spoken to be funny) is:
There were two peanuts walking down the street,
and one of them was assaulted...
peanut.
Barak Obama went to a massage parlor, the girls told him it was self-service. Att. Gen. Holder screamed, "Racists!" and charged the girls with a hate crime.
I’ve heard both of those jokes before....did you hear about the two cannibals at the campfire? One says, “I hate my mother-in-law!” His friend replies, “So, try the potatoes.”
Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!
A guy goes into a bar, there’s a robot bartender. The robot says, “What will you have?”
The guy says, “Martini.” The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “168.”
The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.
The guy leaves, but he is curious... So he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini.” Again, the robot makes a great martini gives it to the man and says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “100.” The robot then starts to talk about Football, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.
The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini,” and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “Uh, about 50.”
The robot leans in real close and says, “So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?”
Michelle Obama walks into a tavern with a duck. The bartender asks, “Where did you get the pig?” Michelle looks puzzled and replies, “It’s a duck.” The bartender then says, “I was talking to the duck.”
A: It's always the same. 30 seconds of sex, then he's pooped.
The funniest joke in the world is the guy pictured in the article.
As Obama jumps from the plane laughing, the reverend starts wrestling with the boy scout and grabs the other parachute and begins to strap it on. The lad turns to the reverend and says, “No need to attack me, the “smartest” man in America just jumped from the plane wearing my back pack!”
