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.

Bob and Jimbo were out on the lake one morning. They were having a great day, pulling in fish after fish, until the boat was full.
When it was time to leave, Jimbo says, “Boy, the fishing here was great! Hope we can remember how to get back to this spot next time”.
“Well”, says Bob, “let me fix that!”. He pulls out a piece of chalk, and puts a big “X” on the side of the boat, right where they were dropping their lines into the water. “Now, we’ll know where this place is next time”. Jimbo says, “Man, you’re a genius!”
After rowing back to the marina, turning in the boat and loading the tackle & fish into their pickup, Jimbo suddenly slaps Bob up side the head and says, “Wait a minute, Bob! Do you think I’m an idiot? You had me fooled for a minute.”
“What do you mean?”
“You expect me to believe that we can find that spot, way out in the middle of the lake with no landmarks, jut because you made an “X” on the side of the boat? You’re an idiot yourself!”
“Why won’t it work?”
“What if we don’t get the same boat next time???!!!”.

A man and his wife were driving home one very cold night when the wife asks her husband to stop the car. There was a baby skunk lying at the side of the road, and she got out to see if it was still alive.
It was, and she said to her husband, “It’s nearly frozen to death. Can we take it with us, get it warm, and let it go in the morning?”
He says, “O.K., get in the car with it.”
“Where shall I put it to get it warm?” He says, “Put it in between your legs. It’s nice and warm there.”
But what about the smell?”
“Just hold its little nose.”
The man is expected to recover, but the skunk she used to beat him with died at the scene.

But if he’s alive in the morning ...”
