Death and Whimsy

For those of you who read Mom's blog yesterday, you noticed that she really threw down the gauntlet in claiming that in no way could death be funny. Although I am too busy to come up with my own death humor, I do have time to copy the funniest joke in the world.
Two hunters were in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He didn't seem to be breathing and his eyes rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell 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 says, “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.”
There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says, “Okay, now what?”
Now I have to get back to my party prep. (It is a BIG party.)
