A joke that needs to be told in a thread like this:
A convict arrives at a new prison. The prison chaplain greets him and tells him he will join him over the next few days to help fit him into prison life. At dinner, they go into the cafeteria. They sit and eat, with most of the prisoners quietly talking among themselves.
After dinner, one of the prisoneres stands up and shouts "34!". Everyone starts laughing. Another stands up and shouts "16!". Same thing. The new guy is curious and asks the chaplain what is going on. The priest says "These guys have been in here so long, and haven't heard any new jokes in such a long time, that they just assigned a number to whatever joke they want to tell. Saves time."
Oh, thinks the new guy. Wanting to fit in, but not knowing what jokes are what number, he stands up anyway - "27!" - nothing - dead silence - so he trys again - "27!!!" - nothing. He sits down.
"What happened?" says the new guy. The priest just shakes his head and says "Some know how to tell a joke - some don't!"
