An exercise in playing with Exceptions.
Make lots of try/except blocks for fun and profit.

# Figure out what the exception is, catch it and in that same block
# try calling the more_fun function with the 2nd language
# in the list, again assigning it to next_joke.

# If there are no exceptions, call the more_fun
# function with the last language in the list
# Regardless of whether there was an exception

# Finally, while still in the try/except block
# and regardless of whether there were any exceptions,
# call the function last_fun with no parameters. (pun intended)
