A reporter went in to a prison to to report on conditions there. He was standing in the chow hall, next to a guard. All the prisoners were silently eating their grub.
All of a sudden one of the prisoners shouted “24!”. All of the other prisoners started to laugh.
A minute later another prisoner shouted “77!”. Once again, the other prisoners laughed .
The reporter was a little puzzled by this, so he asked the guard about it.
The guard explained that it was against the rules to tell jokes in the chow hall. So, the prisoners assigned numbers to all the jokes they knew. When someone shouted a number, everyone would be reminded of the joke, and laugh.
The reporter thought that was pretty cool, so he decided to try it out for himself.
“37!”, he shouted... Silence. Blank stares.
“Some people just can’t tell a joke”, said the guard.
Another prisoner then shouted “89!”
The guard busted out in laughter. His eyes started to water, and he turned red from laughing so hard.
The reporter asked him what was so funny.
“I’ve never heard that one before!” said the guard .
