2 prisoners are in their cell saying numbers and laughing when a new cell-mate arrives.
They all introduce themselves and the 2 go back to saying numbers and laughing:
1st prisoner: "127" (2 cell-mates holding stomachs laughing)
2nd prisoner: "302" (both cell-mates rolling on floor in fits of laughter)
The new inmate says what's going on? They compose themselves and explain that they have been in prison so long it's tiring telling long jokes so they numbered them. "Now when we want to tell a joke, we just say the number".
"Can I have a go" says the new guy?
"Sure" they both say.
New Guy: "86"
Nothing.
New Guy: "141"
Nothing.
New guys says "what's wrong, aren't there any jokes numbered 86 or 141, or aren't they funny?
1st prisoner says "yeah, but it's the way you told them".
