A guy goes to prison. He notices that every now and then one of the prisoners will call out a number, like "seventyfour" and all the other prisoners laugh.
He asks his cellmate about it and is told "We only have one joke book in here, and everybody has memorized it. So if you want to tell a joke, all you need is its number.
Eventually the new guy gets the book, and starts to memorize it. Joke number 87 strikes him as a real knee-slapper, so he calls out "Eightyseven". Nobody laughs. Just silence. Then his cellmate says "Well, some people just can't tell a joke."
