A travelling man breaks down in an old country town...
He goes into the service station asking if they can fix his car. Turns out they have the part he needs and the repairs will take about an hour. He heads out the front where two old men are on their rocking chairs, staring out towards the crops.
One of the old men says "46." And the other cracks up, bringing a smile to the first old man.
They take a puff from their pipes and then the second old man says "79." To which the first old man laughs so hard he gets teary-eyed.
The traveller, confused, turns to a local woman and asks; "What's the deal with the numbers?"
She tells him; "Well you see, they've been telling jokes to eachother for so many years, now they just give 'em numbers. Saves time."
The traveller thinks for a moment.
He walks up to the old men and says "39!"
The two older men stop rocking and shake their heads.
The traveller asks the woman what happened.
She says "Son...It wasn't the joke, it was how you told it."
