Dang this was depressing and appropriate to read on HN I guess.

In unrelated I saw a license plate with just “YC” today.

I thought the article was gonna be the following joke:

It’s a guys first night in jail. At 9pm one of the other inmates yells “51!” And all the other inmates laugh and laugh. A moment later another inmate yells “29!” And all the other inmates laugh and laugh. The new inmate asks the cellmate - what’s going on with the numbers? The other inmate replies, “we’ve all been in here so long we assigned jokes to a number and just say them instead. Why don’t you give it a try?”

So the new inmates yells - “14!”. And it’s silent The new inmate asked the cellmate, “what happened, what did I do wrong?”

And the cellmate said, “you didn’t tell it right..”
