Hah! The way I've heard that one, the punch line goes like this: "Well, you know, some people just can't tell a joke."

I heard that one, too.

And a variation: new guy shouts out a number, people laugh especially hard and clap him on the back, guy next to him says "Thanks; we hadn't heard that one before!".

The way I originally heard it had the punchline: Yeah, but you're not telling it right.

But I had anticipated my punchline and liked mine better, so I use it.

I think I've heard pne's variation too though.

I heard it like that, but as "Your delivery is off." Funny, I heard it for the first time on the day this entry was posted -- but I was out of the country so I just now saw the entry!
