some people....

A new jail warden was being shown through the jailhouse by the
old warden.

Soon, after making rounds around the rest of the jail, they get
to the cafeteria. In one corner, he sees a group of elderly
men laughing hysterically.

Interested, he watches them while the older warden gets his
food. One of the men shouts out "63!" and the entire table
bursts out laughing. The new warden is totally baffled by the
behavior of them. "74!", again a chorus of guffaws ring out.

The old warden comes back to the table where the new warden
sits staring, and the new warden asks "What are those elderly
men doing."

The old warden smirks, and says, "Oh, those are the life
timers. They've been in here so long, they just number their
jokes."

Meanwhile another one calls out "2!". Nobody laughs.

The new warden leans over and asks, "What happened?" To this
the old warden replied, "Some people just can't tell a joke."
