Light Bulb Joke Thread
Edited on Thu Dec-18-03 12:59 PM by WoodrowFan
How many revolutionaries does it take to change a lightbulb??

"The fact that we must change light bulbs is indicative of the sad state of affairs today; if we were living in a utopia, there would be no need for change; more than that, there would not even be a desire for change. The very existence of the light bulb which is burnt out and clearly must be changed is itself a cry for political reform."

How Many Dogs Does It Take to Change A Light Bulb?

1. Golden Retriever:
The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

2. Border Collie:
Just one.
And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

3. Dachshund:
You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

4. Rottweiler:
Make me

5. Boxer:
Who cares?
I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

6. Lab:
Oh, me, me!!!!!
Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb!
Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I?
Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

7. German Shepherd:
I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

8. Jack Russell Terrier:
I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

9. Old English Sheep Dog:
Light bulb?
I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb?

10. Cocker Spaniel:
Why change it?
I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

11. Chihuahua :
Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

12. Pointer:
I see it, there it is, there it is, right there ...

13. Greyhound:
It isn't moving.
Who cares?

14. Australian Shepherd:
First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle ...

15. Poodle:
I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it.
By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

The Cat's Answer:
"Dogs do not change light bulbs.
People change light bulbs.
So, the real question is: How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"

ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF.

40. How many DUers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Depends on what forum they're changing it in.

In the Lounge it'd take about a 100. One to screw it in and 99 to laugh whenever he said he was just gonna "screw" this in.

In GD it just wouldn't happen. Half the board would screw it clockwise and the other half counterclockwise.

In LBN it would just take one person, but nobody else would believe it was a real lightbulb and not a secret plant from Ashcroft.

Edited on Thu Dec-18-03 07:15 PM by TrogL
(I was going to fix the title, but it's much more interesting this way. I need sleep.)

Vocalists don't change light bulbs. They demand more lights, spotlights, strobe lights, fill lights, accent lights...
