I want to know about Schroedinger’s Joke.
commasense:
The version I heard takes place in a prison, but that’s not terribly important. But I think you’ve blown the gag (at least in the version I know) with the part about being offended and asked to leave.
The guy tries shouting out a number, and no one laughs. He looks at his friend and says, “What’s happened?”
“Well, some people just don’t know how to tell a joke.”
But maybe you heard a variation on my version.
“Boy, you really can’t do an Italian accent, can you?”

And since this has taken the turn it has, and the question has been answered, I’ll pass this over to the jokers in MPSIMS.
Moved.

Chronos:
No, see, you can’t have the joke about all jokes having numbers, until all jokes have numbers. So the number for the number joke would have to be assigned before the joke existed.
Come to think of it, though, the comedic Russel’s paradox would have to be about the joke concerning all jokes which do not concern themselves.
Maybe it’s Nipsey Russell’s Paradox (a brain surgeon and a proctologist.)
Hey now, it might be funny too.

A priest, a rabbi, and a Shaolin monk walk into a bar. The bartender says "Hey, we have a new drink called Schroedinger’s Cat. To which the priest replies:
The punchline just died. Sorry.

Man, that one was so close to being irrational! It was almost transcendental!
Not all that funny, though.

Crud. We’re never going to hear the end of that one, are we?
