A man goes to prison, and the first night while he's laying in bed, he hears someone yell out, "44!", followed by laughter from the other prisoners.

Puzzled, he laid back down, but then he heard someone else yell out, "72!", followed by even more laughter.

"What's going on?" he asked his cellmate.

"Well, we've all heard every joke so many times, we've given them each a number to make it easier."

"Oh," he says, "can I try?"

"Sure, go ahead."

So, he yells out "102!" and the place goes nuts. People are whooping and laughing in a hysteria. He looks at his cellmate rolling on the ground laughing.

"Wow, good joke, huh?"

"Yeah! We ain't never heard that one before!"



I've not heard that version before, I like it. The way I usually hear it end:

So, he yells out "102!" and... Crickets.

"What'd I do wrong?"

"Ehh, you must not have told it right."

(...Or, in this case, "you're probably not using the right model GPU")
