We're here on the airport, where a group of people
have just arrived after being stranded on an island
for more than a year.

Tell me, how did you pass time while you

Well, it _did_ get kinda boring, so we started telling
jokes. Unfortunately none of us knew that many jokes,
so the same jokes got told time after time.

So, to save time, we numbered the jokes. Whenever someone
wanted to tell a joke, he just said a number.

Nice job. JRO
Hi! I thought I _knew_ this joke until the punchline came up.... So I thought I'd make a rediddle to let you know how this joke is told over here.

Well, if it's for me, I didn't see it coming, but expected the above... I hope you get it :-) Have fun! -- Gerfried Fuchs <URL:mailto:alf...@innocent.com> <URL:http://alfie.ist.org/alfie/>
