A dialogue between two friends about convict the
story
Nadia: That's the best one I've heard for a
long time.
Khalid: D'' you know that story about the
convict?
Nadia: Not that one!
Khalid: No, no-it isn't that one, dear! Do
you know it?
Nadia: I don't think so.
Khalid: Well, there was this convict who'd
never been to prison before.
Nadia: Oh, that one.
Khalid: Quiet Nadia. And at his first meal,
when they were all eating together, one of the other convicts suddenly got up
shouted' twenty-four.'
Nadia: Whereupon all the other convicts
roared with laughter.
Khalid: Please darling. I'm telling the
story. So the new convict asked his neighbor what was so funny. 'oh,' said the
neighbor. 'You see we've all been here so long that we know all each other's
jokes. So instead of telling them we give them all numbers.
Nadia: Oh,no!
Khalid: So at the next meal the new convict
decided to tell a joke himself, he felt terribly nervous, but finally, he
gathered up his courage, stood up and in a very feeble voice 'twenty-eight,'
Nadia: But there was no reaction at all.
Khalid: Nadia! He sat down in complete
silence, red in the face.
Nadia: I bet, a very embarrassing state of
fairs.
Khalid: And after a bit, he asked his
neighbor what was wrong with joke twenty-eight. 'Nothing,' said his neighbor.
'It's a very good joke. But you know, it depends on the way you tell the story.'
Nadia: Oh dear,That isn't the end yet!
Khalid: So at the next meal the new convict
was determined to make them laugh. He stood up and in a firm voice shouted out,
'two hundred and forty-four'. Immediately, everyone was convulsed with laughter.
They rolled in the aisles. When the laughter died down, the new convict turned
to his neighbor, 'That was all right wasn't it? he said. 'Oh yes, couldn't have
been better. And what's more, we'd never heard that one before!'
Nadia: Never heard that one before,
Khalid: I must remember that one,
Nadia: It's a real shaggy dog,
