Joke I've just pinched

A joke I've just pinched from a US site,

This joke involves a hunter who calls 911 after his friend collapses from an apparent heart attack.


The joke continues with the hunter telling the dispatcher, "I think my friend is dead." The dispatcher replies, "I can help. But first let's make sure he's really dead."


The line goes silent, a gun shot is heard, and then the hunter gets back on and says, "Okay, now what?"

What?
The Americans are laughing at themselves?!!

It's taken a few hundred years but they can probably be accused of having a highly developed sense of humour now then!
