So there are 2 mountain climbers. One of them falls unconscious. The other climber calls 911 (911 is the emergency service dispatcher in the US and some other countries). "I think my friend is dead!" he says. "Well, make sure he is dead." says the dispatcher. A few seconds later, gunshots are heard over the phone. "Okay, now what?" the climber says.

indeed, good one

It's funny because the joke is told by someone from 'murica; and as the cliché goes, it is of course perfectly possible that one of two mountain climbers would carry a firearm.
