| Reminds me of a joke at least as old: |

A man walks into a local bar. He sits down and orders a beer. While he sips it, he looks around and sees a few people sitting around, drinking and talking. Suddenly one of them yells "48", and everybody laughs. A few minutes later, another yells "93" and everybody laughs.
This puzzles him a great deal, so when the bartender serves him another drink he takes the opportunity to ask: "What's with the numbers? I didn't see anything really funny about those numbers". The bartender replies "These are all regulars here. All of their jokes have been told so many times that they finally decided to save time and just call them by a number. Everybody knows the joke by this number. Here, I have a book someone made up - it has all the jokes, and their numbers".
The man thanks the bartender, and leaves a big tip as he leaves the bar. He goes back to his hotel room and reads the book. A lot of these jokes are pretty funny:-)
Next night he goes back to the same bar. After he gets his beer he sits back and listens, looking forward to taking part in the joking. Sure enough, after a few minutes, someone yells out "28". He remembers the joke, and laughs. A few minutes later he decides to chime in. He yells out "16". Nobody laughs. He wonders about that, but doesn't do too much about it. Some time later he tries again. He yells out "93". Nobody laughs. Now he is getting really upset. When the bartender comes over, he asks: "What's with these people? Last night when I was here, somebody else yelled out 93, and everybody laughed. It's one of the best jokes in the book - somebody should have laughed at it. What gives?"
The bartender looks at him and shakes his head sadly as he replies: "Well, some people know how to tell a joke. Some don't". |
