“Everyone is probably familiar with the story about the new guy in prison on death row. The first day he’s locked up, another inmate yells out, “Twenty-four!” Everyone on death row breaks up laughing. A little time goes by and another prisoner shouts, “Seventeen!” Again, everyone cracks up. The new guy asks another inmate, “What is that?” The inmate says, “They are telling jokes. We all know the joke, so they just give the punch line.” The new guy says, “Let me try. Twenty-nine!” Nothing happens. The inmate says, “See, some people can tell jokes and some people can’t.”
