Jake arrived to the prison facility and upon inprocessing, was assigned a cell. As his first day wound down, and the lights of the prison were dimmed for sleep, he lay quietly thinking about his fate. A shout from another cell broke the silence as a prisoner called out "54" and all the other prisoners began to laugh hysterically. A few minutes later, again silence was broken when a prisoner yelled "77" and all the prisoners roared with laughter. This occured a few more times and curiosity got the best of Jake. He yelled to the cell next to him and asked what all the number calling meant. "Well", came the reply from the adjoining cell, "Most of us have been here so long and told so many jokes, we have just assigned them numbers." Jake, trying to fit in, decided to try it out. "102" shouted Jake. Not a sound was heard. Again he shouted "102" but not a sound of laughter anywhere. He asked the cell next to him why nobody was laughing. "Well, some people can tell em, and some people can't".
