        You are both right and wrong (and the joke is stupid). The loopback-subnet is 127/8, not 127.0.0/24. Class-based Networks are superceded by CIDR since the 90ies. Nowadays it’s ::1 anyways.

          I know, but I wanted to make this as long as possible.

          Class-based Networks are superceded by CIDR since the 90ies.

          I mean yeah, but what do they know anyway? :D

          (at work we still call them that)

          The joke usually has ~ or ~/ instead of 127.0.0.1 as I recall it, which makes more sense.
