#54

A guy goes to a comedy club he’s never been to before. He has a drink and
since it’s open mike night he’s not surprised when somebody steps up out of the
audience and clears his throat. “Number 225,” says the fellow and everybody just
doubles over. Then he follows up with another couple of numbers and those elicit
howls as well. After he sits down another man steps up to the
microphone and does the same thing, getting big laughs from 124, 43,
and 509.

Finally he can take it no longer and he asks a guy sitting at a nearby table
who has laughed throughout, “What the heck is going on?!? They aren’t telling
jokes, they’re just spitting out numbers!”

“We’ve heard every joke in the book in this place and we know ’em all by
heart. Years ago we numbered them and just tell the numbers now instead of the
jokes.”

Just then they see another fellow step up on stage and yell out, “54,” but
this time nobody laughed. The first man looked quizzically at his previously
laughing companion who replied, “It was how he told it.”
