JokeMaster II can save up to 10 jokes

at a time and will assign numbers for

those jokes. It doesn’t let you make

the mistake of saving a joke twice. If

the joke you are attempting to save

has already been saved, the LCD will

display "ALREADY SAVED." If you

wish to save a joke after 10 jokes have

already been saved, the current (11th)

joke will then take the place of the

first saved joke. The next joke, that is,

the 12th joke you save, will replace

the second saved joke, and so on.
