Jewish Punch lines... and their jokes

There's the joke about the old guys at the retirement home who have told each other the same jokes so often that they've assigned numbers to them. So when a guy says "Thirty-seven," they all remember it and laugh.

The set-up is that, when a stranger sees this but has no idea what's going on, he decides to try to become one of the guys, so he randomly picks a number and says, "Nineteen." No one laughs.

The punch line is: One guy looks at him and says, "You told it wrong."
