Mudcat's hunting fraternity will like to know that one of their jokes came second in a survey of the world's best jokes (the Guardian, Britain, today):

A couple of hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing. The other whips out his mobile phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps out to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?"

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: "Just take it easy. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?"

Horrifingly, the best one was the one about Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson, and the tent. Doesn't bear repeating.
