I have a joke about distributed systems which I’ve told to my immediate friends. Haven’t you heard it?

The problem with mine is that I sometimes tell the punchline first and then the joke. Ruins the whole thing.

I guarantee: if I hear it a second time, I might give you another response without hearing it againhaving any negative side effect on me, okay?
Replying to @stilkov
I have a joke about nulls.

I asked several people if this joke was any good, but there’s no consensus.
