   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.

 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.
