I desperately need the old joke about how many forum members are needed to change a light bulb. You know, the joke where the first posts a message that he's changed a light bulb, and the thread goes on an on and on. Please give me a link to the joke!

Hmm, never saw that one.

But it's an opportunity to post one of my favorite light bulb changing jokes.


How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?

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
light
bulb?

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

Dachshund: I can't reach the stupid lamp!

Toy 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.

Rottweiler: Go Ahead! Make me!

Shi-tzu: Puh-leeze, dah-ling. Let the servants. . .

Labrador: Oh, me, me!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the
light bulb! Can I? Can
I? Huh? Huh? Can I?

Malamute: Let the Border collie do it. You can feed me
while he's busy.

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

Doberman Pinscher: While it's dark, I'm going to
sleep on the couch.

Mastiff: Mastiffs are NOT afraid of the dark.

Hound Dog: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

Irish Wolfhound: Can somebody else do it? I've got a
hangover.

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

Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

Australian Shepherd: Put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? LIGHT BULB? That
thing I just ate was a LIGHT
BULB?

How Many _____Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb?

Charismatics - Only one: Hands already in the air.

Catholics - None. They use candles.

Baptists - CHANGE??!!??!!

Pentecostals - Ten. One to change, nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians - None. God has predestined when the lights will be on and off.

Episcopalians - Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to say how much they liked the old one.

United Methodists - We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey, you have found that a light bulb works for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your personal relationship with your light bulb, and present it next month at our annual light bulb Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence through Jesus Christ.

Democrats -- Before actually changing the light bulb, they want to propose a new policy to place a better functioning light bulb product than the previous one.

Republicans -- They send out someone to change the light bulb only after increasing military spending, so that they can effectively protect the light bulb changer from any foreign threats.
