Title: CFPL TV Chronicles. The Number Game

 NOTE: This week I found a joke and asked the robot ChatGPT to embellish the story and compose it in the style of Jerry Seinfeld. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did adding to it and making the pictures with Stable Diffusion. Tim

CFPL TV Chronicles: The Number Game

So, let me get this straight. You've got this group of CFPL TV Oldtimers, right? And they've been meeting up at Shelly's, this tap and grill on Wellington Rd. for like, I don't know, forever. It's like clockwork—noon, first Tuesday of every month, like they're on some kind of sitcom TV show or something.

And what do they do at these little gatherings? They tell jokes. Yeah, that's right. They're like a comedy troupe that never left the green room. But here's the kicker—they've been doing it for so long, they've practically got their own joke shorthand.

So, picture this. Jim Swan, he's like the ringmaster of this joke circus, right? He'll stand up and just casually drop a number—103. And boom! The whole place erupts in laughter. It's like the punchline equivalent of a home run.

Then, "Big Red" Bob steps up to the plate. He's got his number ready to go—53. And wouldn't you know it, lightning strikes twice. The bar practically shakes with the force of the laughter. John Mahoney says "What about —877?" and the rest roar knowingly. Even Jill the waitress, brings the house down when she cries out —25.

But then, out of nowhere, Jack Shaunessy, he's like the wildcard of the group, right? He goes and drops this bombshell—1058. And I'm telling you, it's like the whole room just explodes. People are doubling over, tears streaming down their faces. It's comedy gold.

Now, here's the kicker. I turn to my buddies Paul "the Professor" and Mary, and I'm like, "Paul, what's with —1058? I mean, am I missing something here?" And you know what he says? He says, "Tim, it's simple . . .

We haven't heard that one before!"
