As part of my training to be the next great comic genius, my lesson book, Comedy Writing Secrets 2nd Edition, instructed me to compose a few "light bulb" jokes as an example of triples - a tried and true comedy staple. So here are my answers to the few subject they suggested and one of my own:
How many politicians does it take to change a light bulb?
Three.
One to say we need to work together, one to blame the Muslims for the bulb going out, and the last to sell the opportunity to the highest bidder.
How many generals does it take to change a light bulb?
Three.
One to petition Congress for a new bulb, one to create a new unit of bulb changers in case this happens again, and the last to see how Patton would have done it.
How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?
Three.
One to represent the old light bulb, one to sue the lamp for damages, and the last to prevent the last light bulb from being screwed.
How many cops does it take to change a light bulb?
Three.
One to arrest the lamp for assault and two to get donuts.
How many auto mechanics does it take to change a light bulb?
Three.
One to give you an estimate, one to order the parts, and one to put it together wrong so you have to bring the lamp back in next week.
