RRR: The Lights are On

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
This is an update of a post from 16 July 2005

I’ve always loved light bulb jokes. You know, “How many _____ does it take to change a light bulb?” [I've always loved elephant jokes too, but that will have to be another post.]

How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb?
How many teenagers does it take to change a light bulb?
How many teamsters does it take to change a light bulb?
How many country singers does it take to change a light bulb?
How many philosophers does it take to change a light bulb?
How many computer programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

Some years back [hah!] I went to a chiropractor for a while. He had a pretty good sense of humor so one time I told him this one:

Q: How many chiropractors does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Only one, but it will take him ten visits to do it.

He got a good laugh out of that. The next week he told me that he had told that joke to another chiropractor friend of his and they decided on a better answer:

Q: How many chiropractors does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Only one, but it will take him ten visits to do it — twenty if you have insurance.

And I got a good laugh out of that!

Answers:
psychologists = only one, but the light bulb has to want to change
teenagers = only one, they hold the bulb and the universe revolves around them
teamsters = TEN, YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
country singers = two, one to change the bulb and one to sing about all the good times we had with the old bulb
philosophers = three, one to curse the darkness, one to light a candle, and one to change the bulb
computer programmers = can’t be done, that’s a hardware problem

And one more that I like a lot:

Q: How many kids with ADHD does it take to — hey, wanna go ride bikes?!?
