What think you?

... Funniest Sentence Ever?. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

My own favorite - not least because its humor derives from its structure as a sentence - is from Max Beerbohm's Zuleika Dobson:
"Last of all leapt Mr. Trent-Garby, who, catching his foot in the ruined flower box, fell headlong, and was, I regret to say, killed."
