Whenever I do this, I think of the old joke about the prison where all of the prisoners knew the same bunch of jokes by heart, so instead of telling a whole joke, they would just call out a number and everyone would crack up.
You should not have to look this one up: xkcd 624.

- Ostrogodsky 5y agoBut you didnt finish the joke: Then one day a new prisoner arrives. Later that day when everybody is at their cells some other guy yells: "194". And,as usual, all people laugh. Another one says "315". Even more laughter. Another: "873", the place is a mad house. Emboldened and wishing to fit in, the new guy yells: "242". Total silence. Not even a little chuckle. Embarrassed the new guy turns toward his cellmate and asks him: "What did I do wrong?,Isnt 242 a good joke?". His cellmate says: " it is indeed a good joke, it is hilarious.But you see, son, a joke is not just the story, the most important part is the way you tell it"
