This is my programming version of another joke I heard:
A guy walks into a bar and sees a group of people. One of them says a number and the rest laugh. Then the next person says a number and everyone laughs again.
"What are you doing?" he asks them.
"We're telling each other jokes, but since we keep telling the same ones, we've assigned each a number and rather than telling the whole joke all over again, we can just reference it quickly that way"
"Can I try?"
"Sure, go ahead"
"42", the guy says.
Everyone starts laughing and laughing and won't stop.
"What did I say?"
"Well you see, the joke you told us was:
A guy walks into a bar and sees a group of people. One of them says a number and the rest laugh... etc. etc."

In the original joke the last answer was simply "We hadn't heard that one before", but I'd like to think my recursive version has more depth to it.

- fuzzfactor 6y agoAnother new guy walks in and finds this friendly group explaining how they joke by number. They encourage him to give it a try and he enthusiastically says "18". Nobody laughed at all. Crickets. He asks the guy next to him, "isn't 18 funny?" "Yes, but you have to know how to tell a joke."
