A new prisoner is at his first lunch. A prisoner stands up and calls out "73" and everyone laughs. Another one stands up and calls out "142" and everyone laughs. The new prisoner asks his table companion what's going on. "Oh," says the companion, "we've been here so long that we've memorized a book of jokes, so now we save time just by calling out the number of the joke." So the new prisoner figures he might as well give it a try. He stands up and confidently calls out "56." No one laughs. "What did I do wrong?" he asks his companion. "Well, you have to know how to tell a joke," the companion says.
