In one prison facility, inmates spend their break time exchanging jokes.
There is this old-timer inmate who never fails to set-off laughter every time he tells joke. The other inmates were so used to the old-timer's recycled joke that, the old-timer just have to say the joke number...like "Joke #1"...then laughter burst out. "Joke # 11"...another burst of laughter...and so on.
Now comes a new convict. At first, he can not understand why other inmates would laugh by mere mention of a joke number, but when he found out what the joke was behind each number, he too has a laugh. But the new inmate has other things in mind. He wanted to be popular that he wanted to copy the old-timer's joke-by-the-number.
One day, he joined a gathering and said...I will tell you a joke..."Joke# 5". No laughter. He tried again..."Joke# 21"...still no laughter
Wondering, he asked the old-timer how he can make others laugh but he can't.
The old-timer replied:
It's how you deliver the Joke, son.
