A guy goes to a comedy club he's never been to before. He has a drink and since it's open mic night he's not surprised when somebody steps up out of the audience and clears his throat. "Number 225," says the fellow and everybody just doubles over. Then he follows up with another couple of numbers and those elicit howls as well. After he sits down another man steps up to the microphone and does the same thing, getting big laughs from 124, 43, and 509.
Finally he can take it no longer and he asks a guy sitting at a nearby table who has laughed throughout, "What's going on?!? They aren't telling jokes, they're just spitting out numbers!"
"We've heard every joke in the book in this place and we know 'em all by heart. Years ago we numbered them and just tell the numbers now instead of the jokes."
Just then they see another fellow step up on stage and yell out, "54," but this time nobody laughed. The first man looked quizzically at his previously laughing companion who replied, "It was how he told it."
