Someone brought a visitor and the new fellow sat
fascinated as the funnymen shouted out numbers: "56!"
"923!" "307!"
Each time a number was called, the others would laugh and
laugh.
Finally he asked his host, "What are the numbers
for?" The other man explained, "Oh, we've been coming to these
conventions for so long, everyone knows all the jokes. We just categorize them
by number and then save time by using the number alone."
*ENDING #1:* The visitor thought this was an interesting
idea and decided to try it himself. So the next time there was a pause, he
stood up and called out, "468!" The others roared with laughter. He
waited, then called out, "22!" and again everyone roared. Then he
called out, "829!" and there was a dead silence, except for one guy
in the fourth row, who laughed so hard that he fell off his chair and rolled on
the floor, seemingly unable to stop.
The visitor poked his host and whispered, "How come
he's laughing and the others aren't?"
The host whispered back, "Oh, that's because he never
heard that one before."
*ENDING #2:* The visitor thought this was an interesting
idea, so he stood up and called out, "468!" and no one laughed. There
was a dead silence.
Puzzled, he turned to his host. The other man looked
away, sniffed, and said condescendingly, "Some people just don't know how
to tell a joke."
