I think you misunderstood the analogy. I'm saying the *first time you hear the joke* it goes like this:
> knock knock
> who's there?
> I knocked three times before but I'd told you it was banana. This time it's orange.
> orange who?
> orange you glad I didn't say banana?

Do you see how the effect is minimized?
