<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Fritz mentioned this joke, but there's
an alternate version:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Fritz'</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">That reminds me of a joke: </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">A new prisoner joins the group of other prisoners
who sit in a circle in the evening and obviously have a good time.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">One of them shouts “12”, everybody laughs.
Another shouts, all men guffaw. One shouts 112, they all slap their thighs.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">The new prisoner wonders what is happening
and asks his neighbor in the circle why they all laugh when someone calls
out a number.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">The other guy says: “We are telling jokes
and have given a number to each joke. As we have already heard all of these
jokes, it is enough just to call out the number.” The new prisoner thinks
“That is easy, I can do that myself.” So he shouts “71.” Noone laughs.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">So he turns to his neighbour asking “Why
does noone laugh?” His neighbour answers: “one has to know how to tell
jokes.”</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">I wonder what kind of “laughter” (smile)
this provokes with you. I hope I havn’t spoilt the joke by the way I told
it.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">Fritz</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">ALTERNATE:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The new prisoner thinks "I can
tell jokes like these" and shouts "132!" Everyone bursts
into louder laughter than ever, rolling on the floor, gasping for air.
The new guy says "Wow, what did I do?" Finally, someone recovers
long enough to tell him - "That was one we hadn't heard before!"</font>
