A prison newbie is sitting around with the old timers.
Every once in awhile one of them would call out some
number like 505 or 555 and everyone would laugh. The
newbie asked the guy next to him what the numbers
meant.

"We've all told the same jokes over and over so many
times we decided to just give them numbers. It's
easier."

The newbie, not wanting to be left out, shouted out a
number and everyone just stared at him. "What did I do
wrong?" he asked the guy next to him.

"Some guys just can't tell a joke," the old-timer told
him.
