How many Army Combat Engineers dose it take to change a light bulb? 1 to notice it needs changed. 2 to find the replacement. 4 to prep the demo to blast the old light bulb out of the socket. 2 to do a post blast analyst. 5 to re wire the socket. 4 to find the 2 that went to find a replacement. 1 to screw it back in.

Funniest thing that has happened in a long time to us.
On a mission lasting several days we were sleeping in barracks assigned for this mission. 2 nights ago there was 155mm outgoing artillery. well the barracks are right next to the 155mm guns so the vibrations made a light fixture fall on someone as they slept. This happened at 2230Z. we kind of rolled over and went back to sleep only to laugh about it the next day. Not exactly a light bulb but close

I tried to submit a new lightbulb but it was rejected because of the wattage. I've been in bed sulking about it ever since.

how many publishers does it take to change a light bulb? Three - one to do the . . . ehem . . . changing, and two to hold the author down.
I heard that at a writer's conference in November, and have been waiting for a moment that would be appropriate to trot it back out ever since. Of course, some might question its appropriateness at any time.

You rang?
Somehow it didn't sound like arguing to me.
Have to confess, though, I've been battling tendonitis in my left wrist since about Christmas time (when I was in Egypt on a tour).
Finally got a cortizone shot today, right smack in the middle off my dorsal tendon (the one that runs up into the thumb), and I have to wear a thumb-imobilizing wrist brace for two months in hopes that the cortizone will take care of the pain.
Did you know that a thumb-immobilizing wrist brace, even on your left hand when you're right handed, can make it a bit of a challenge to type?
RWFII, you may not be the only one with creatively spelled posts around here for the next while.

Well, it doesn't have anything to do with changing light bulbs, so maybe I should start that topic I asked arriki for on travel experiences being good for writing, or resurrect the one that was here a while ago.
Better that than encouraging this topic to continue, eh?

I think these light bulb jokes are a waste of time on a board about writing.
I mean telling stupid jokes like, "how many presidential candidates does it take to change a broken light bulb" Three. One to remove the old bulb, and two to find a bulb that gives off broken light."
I mean, these jokes are just stupid!!!!!
Anybody who locates an old light bulb joke and brings it to the front should be shot. (I will take ten CCs.......)

...almost three months between posts...I suppose, even when you drive the stake into the vampire's heart, somebody'll come along and take it out...thus it is with this thread...

I'm wondering what the problem is as well, rstegman, since a mere 17 posts above your last post, there resides an actual How many people does it take to screw in a light bulb joke, penned by yourself, which is neither better nor worse than anything else offered here.
Posted by rstegman:

Five
Two to hold the giraffe and three to fill the bathtub with brightly colored tools.
I've heard of the pot calling the kettle black, but the pot naming itself so?

This quote probably doesn't belong here, but it doesn't belong anywhere else, either, so I thought I'd just toss it into the ring with the nonsensical lightbulb jokes:
"You have to be a great thinker to be a great writer. Which is bad news if you are a writer." -- Andy Rooney, on Sixty Minutes
May I note that this has been the most enduring thread I've ever seen in my years on this site? I'm not sure what that says about us as writers, but it confirms the kernel of truth in the original joke, and for that reason, validates the entire, rambling discussion thereon.

A while ago, where I work, they installed self-flushing toilets. Us long-term senior employees figured that management didn't think some of the new hires knew how to use the regular kind. (That and "rakeoff" and "kickback" were what most came up in conversation.)

For the record, they don't work right...either they flush when you don't want 'em to, or they don't flush when you do want 'em to...

Of course, you end up looking like some kind of wicked-awesome brown mage with all the arcane hand gestures you end up making in front of the motion sensor trying to get your fewmets to flush down the drain.

Or like a three year old waving bye bye to her body products. I'm always glad for stall doors at that moment.

I use one of those "energy efficient" swirly lightbulbs, and that in a fixture that's difficult to change. Even then, it doesn't last seven years, only a year or two at most.
Whatever you do, don't break one; the cleanup of the toxic chemicals will set you back a couple of thousand dollars.

How many men does it take to change a roll of toilet paper? No one is really sure, it's never happened.
Sigh,... Doesn't really matter how many times I post this joke, no one's ever gonna think its funny are they. I know some jokes about poultry pedestrians too. I'm going to take a nap now.
