A new redditor stumbles upon /r/jokes...

A new redditor stumbles upon /r/jokes...

While reading the rules, he sees a new post simply titled: "43."

It gets upvoted and the comments are filled with "lol" and "made my day."

After a little while, another post appears: "37."

Again, upvotes, and people laughing.

Confused, the redditor messages the mods:
"Why are people posting numbers?"

The mod reply's:
"Oh the people here on /r/jokes keep telling the same jokes over and over, so they've numbered them all. Rather then typing it out each time, they just say the number and we all know which one they are talking about."

The redditor, wanting to feel like part of the group, creates a new post: "23."

No upvotes. No comments. Confused, the redditor added a comment.
"Is 23 not funny?"

Finally someone responds:
"Sorry, you just don't know how to deliver it."
