A newbie in a prison is sitting next to a typical old timer at lunch, when all of a sudden someone shouts out 23!, and everyone laughs out loud,
seconds later another reckless inmate shouts 54! once again tremendous laughter.
This goes on for a few days with numerous numbers being shouted out, and hysterical laughter,
until one day the newbie decides to ask the old timer what the crack is.
He says that the prison only have one joke book and therefore people know it off by heart so they only need to shout out a number as the other prisoners will know the exact joke, and therefore laugh.
A week or so goes by until the newbie plucks up enough courage to one day give it a go himself.
So after lunch one day the prisoner shouts out 46!!
However complete silence, greets him,not even a murmur.
Confused the newbie asks the old timer what went wrong..
He responds
"Its the way you tell them mate"
