This guy goes to prison, and while everybody is breaking rocks all day, somebody'd yell out a number and they'd all laugh.
Finally, the newbie got curious and asked someone what's going on. The response was, "Well, we all doin' hard time here, so we been here a long time. The prison library ain't got but one joke book, and we all have it memorized, so there ain't no need to do no more than call out a number and we all knows the joke."
The newbie thought that sounded reasonable, so he got the book and memorized it. The next day, when things got quiet, he yelled out a number. Nobody laughed. he tried another number, but STILL nobody laughed. With much embarrassment and humiliation, he asked his previous mentor what the problem was. The guy said, "Geez, I guess some people just don't know how to tell a joke ..."
