The Joke:

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them 
falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are 
rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and 
calls the 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: "OK, now what?"
