Is this a math joke?

'Cause, you know, I usually get those.
It was quiet.
And then,
A new prisoner hears, "5!".
The whole cell block laughed.
In a few minutes, the newbie hears, "14!".
The whole cell block laughed again.
So the newbie asked his cell mate, "What's going on?"
The guy said, "Aw, we've heard these joke so many times, we just gave 'em numbers." And with that, he yelled out, "55!", and the whole cell block cracked up.

The new guy, wanting to fit in, then yelled out, "23!"
And, ...nothing....
While he was wondering "What the Hey?", he heard way down the line...


"Some guys just can't tell a joke."
