Forty-four

Surely you’ve heard this old cornball.

Three guys are stranded on a desert island for 20 years. Not only have they told all the jokes they know, but they’ve told them all so many times that by now they just refer to them by number.

So when one guy says, “Thirty one,” it sends them all into a giggling fit.

And when another guy says “Ninety-six,” they crack up over that.

Then the third guy says, “Sixty!” and nobody laughs.

“Hey!” he says. “That’s a funny joke!”

“Yeah,” says one of the others. “But you always screw it up.”
