My post wasn't an admonishment, it was another joke!

Don't let it worry you! Most members are so old they can't remember most jokes for more than a day or so! Keep bringing them!!

^ This joke has been posted so many times on E-R.org we should probably assign it a nickname or number for all future postings.

A man is sent to prison for the first time.
The first night there, after the lights in the cell block are turned off, he immediately sees his cellmate going over to the bars and yelling, "twelve!"
The whole cell block breaks out laughing. A few minutes later, somebody else in the cell block yells, "twenty-three!" Again, the whole cell block breaks out laughing.
"Why are you guys just yelling numbers?" He asks his cellmate. "What's so funny about random numbers?"
"Well," says the older prisoner, "They're not random. It's just that we've all been in this here sub for so long, we all know all the same jokes. So after a while we just started giving them numbers and yelling those numbers is enough to remind us of the joke instead of telling it."
Wanting to fit in, the new prisoner walks up to the bars and yells, "SIX!" But instead of laughter, a dead silence falls on the cell block. He turns to the older prisoner, "What's wrong? Why didn't I get any laughs?"
"You didn't tell it right."
I'm to lazy to break these up in different posts... Mostly groaners away.....
Hold on, didn't I tell that last month? Post #5204
No doubt I've post some duplicates (sorry about that) but I'm not about to scan 5000+ posts to check... Hey at least the same jokes don't pop up nearly as often as some questions around here like "When should I take SS" or "Should I take the annuity or the lump sum"....
