TCP Joke Connection Timeout

"Hi, I'd like to hear a TCP joke." "Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?" "Yes, I'd like to hear a TCP joke." "OK, I'll tell you a TCP joke." "Ok, I will hear a TCP joke." "Are you ready to hear a TCP joke?" "Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke." "Ok, I am about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline." "Ok, I am ready to get your TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have an explicit setting, and ends with a punchline." "I'm sorry, your connection has timed out. ...Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"

A text-only joke presents a conversation between two people trying to exchange a TCP joke. The setup takes so long that the connection times out before the joke is delivered, then the conversation restarts, parodying TCP handshakes, connection timeouts, and the delayed structure of a joke.
