Is this the world's funniest joke?

Many researchers spent a great deal of time recently trying to find the world's funniest joke. (Good money if you can get it, thinks I). Anyhow, here it is - judge for yourself.

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?"
