emergency stop at the next uncharted planet, Alpha Regula IV, to
procure a light bulb from the natives. Kirk, Spock, Bones, Sulu,
and 3 red shirt security officers beam down. The 3 security
officers are promptly killed by the natives, and the rest of the
landing party is captured. Meanwhile, back in orbit, Scotty
notices a Klingon ship approaching and must warp out of orbit to
escape detection. Bones cures the native king who is suffering
from the flu, and as a reward the landing party is set free and
given all of the light bulbs they can carry. Scotty cripples the
Klingon ship and warps back to the planet just in time to beam up
Kirk et. al. The new bulb is inserted, and the Enterprise
continues with its five year mission.

How many congressmen does it take to change a light bulb?
Five hundred and thirty-five, but only if the following conditions are
met: The light bulb will not be changed in an election year. A
committee will study the light-bulb situation for at least a year.
Taxes will have to be raised. A fair and proportionate number of the
light-bulb changers will be from minority groups. No Social Security
funds will be used to change the bulb. Each state and congressional
district will share in the benefits of changing the light bulb. The
blame for the failure of the present bulb will be assigned to the
other party. The new bulb will be twice as bright as the old bulb.
Because the new bulb is twice as bright as the old bulb, it will cost
130 times as much. A Blue Ribbon Panel will investigate the light-bulb
failures and issue a mega-page report to the congress. A fact-finding
trip to all countries known to produce light bulbs will be made by
most congressmen and their wives. The CIA will investigate the Russian
light-bulb-changing system. Details of the Russian light-bulb-changing
system will be sold to the Chinese by an American naval officer. The
surgeon general will issue a report about the perils of over-bright
light bulbs. A program to supply light bulbs to those who cannot
afford them will be introduced by Tip O'Neill. President Reagan will
give a speech extolling the virtues of kerosene lanterns. Tip O'Neall
will initiate a program of free kerosene for the needy. And finally,
each and every congressman will send every one of his constituents a
newsletter describing how he managed to get the light bulb changed
almost single-handedly.

hereby and forthwith agree to a transaction wherein the party of

position as a result of failure to perform previously agreed upon
duties, i. E., the lighting, elucidation, and otherwise
illumination of the area ranging from the front (north) door,
through the entryway, terminating at an area just inside the
primary living area, demarcated by the beginning of the carpet,
any spillover illumination being at the option of the party of the
second part (Light Bulb) and not required by the aforementioned
agreement between the parties. The aforementioned removal
transaction shall include, but not be limited to, the following
steps:
1. The party of the first part (Lawyer) shall, with or without
elevation at his option, by means of a chair, stepstool,
ladder or any other means of elevation, grasp the party of
the second part (Light Bulb) and rotate the party of the
second part (Light Bulb) in a counter-clockwise direction,

part (Light Bulb) in a manner consistent with all applicable
state, local and federal statutes.

the first part (Lawyer) shall have the option of beginning

this self-same document, being careful to note that the
rotation should occur in a clockwise direction, this point
also being non-negotiable.

the party of the first part (Lawyer), by any or all persons
authorized by him, the objective being to produce the most
possible revenue for the party of the fifth part, also known as

How many workers at Rocky Flats, the former nuclear weapon components
plant in Golden, Colo., should it take to change a light bulb?
Sixteen--and that's no joke:
An internal memo written by a manager at the U.S. Department of Energy
plant recommended a new safety procedure for "the replacement of a
light bulb in a criticality beacon." The beacon, similar to the
revolving red lamp atop a police car, warns workers of nuclear
accidents. The memo said the job should take at least 16 people over
60 hours to replace the light. It added that the same job used to take
12 workers 4.15 hours.
The memo called for a planner to meet with six others at a
work-control meeting; talk with other workers who have done the job
before; meet again; get signatures from five people at that
work-control meeting; get the project plans approved by separate
officials overseeing safety, logistics, waste management and plant
scheduling; wait for a monthly criticality-beacon test; direct
electricians to replace the bulb; and then test and verify the repair.

at deprecatory remarks.

possible meanings of each phrase, word, and syllable; nine
columnists to write about it from radically different viewpoints;

(what is said is not as important as saying it correctly); six

sure that it really does add up to 66.
How many light bulbs does it take to change a light bulb?
1. One, if it knows its own G�del number.
Note: A G�del Number is one of several ways to encode a Turing
Machine, the classical abstraction of a computer, or for that
matter of any algorithm. The idea (as best I see it) is that if
the machine knows its own G�del Number it can simulate itself...
It does come from the mathematician G�del - partly because he used
TMs in his famous theorem, I believe.

How many Democratic presidential candidates from 1988 did it take to
screw in a light bulb?
1. (Mike Dukakis) In Massachusetts, my enlightened government has
made it unnecessary for people to screw in their own light bulbs,
as we have put thousands of former welfare recipients to work for
the Dept. of Light Bulb Installation. These employees will come to
your home or business and install any incandescent bulb, on only a
few months notice.
2. (Bruce Babbitt) It's foolish to talk about screwing in light bulbs
when we haven't even taken the first step, and that is to remove
the old bulb. I challenge my fellow candidates to stand up with me
and help me remove this old light bulb [stands, but nobody else
does] Hah! What wimps. You guys make Bush look like Rambo.
3. (Richard Gephart) It doesn't matter whether the bulb is changed or
not; it only matters that the new bulb was made in the US of A.

$10,000 to screw in here.

attempt to drag my personal life into this campaign. Frankly, I

putting forth solutions that moderate Southerners won't cotton to
on Super Tuesday. At least I hope not.

hair the same way I did in the 50's. But that's what Paul Simon's

foolish for this, but in all candor, I change my light bulbs the
same way I did in the 50's: my wife gets on a ladder and I turn
it.
7. (Jesse Jackson) Changing the light bulb is a partial solution at
best. I'm more of a Lone Ranger than a light bulb changer. But
even the Lone Ranger had Tonto and Silver, and the shameful fact
is that the American Indians of today don't have enough silver, or
gold, or even paper money to allow them to buy into the American
Dream or some extra light bulbs. We must ensure that all Americans
can light their homes, from the lighthouse to the White House.

light bulb!
4. (Kemp) It's morning in America! Why should we worry about light
bulbs? Let those doom-crying Democrats worry about light bulbs!
[stumble over chair in the dark].
5. (Haig) One. Snap to it, soldier!
6. (Bush) None. (Bush in an earnest lap dog voice) I resent that
question. I've answered it before, and I think the media are
keeping this thing alive. I think the American people are TIRED of
light bulb jokes.
