** WARNING: SEXIST CONTENT **

Q: How many women with PMS does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One. Only ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS. But if they did, by some miracle, actually find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID @*!#$% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY?! BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS CRAP UP!! AND FURTHERMORE ... I'm sorry ... what was the question?

...

Q: How many husbands does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one ... eventually ... but then he'll spike the old one in the trash can and strut around like a bantam rooster until he stubs his toe against the chair he left in the middle of the room, after which he will park his sorry carcass in front of the TV and expect to be waited on hand and foot for being "wounded in action"...

Q: How many Emo types does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one. But afterwards, he will post in his blog a long, rambling, freeverse poem that describes how the old light bulb was his only beacon in the abyssmal darkness that is his so-called life; how its failure describes the moment that he realised that he was born to failure as a human being and that life itself is therefore futile; how he anguished for days, paralysed by the prospect of having to remove the now-cold and corpse-like shell from its familiar surroundings; how he cradled the lifeless thing in his shaking hand and cried over the futility of its existance; how he dropped it and watched it shatter in slow-motion into a million pieces, each one representing a fragment of his own shattered soul, and how the pain he felt when one of the pieces penetrated his skin as he cleaned up the mess only served to remind him that he was alive to suffer for death of light; how he questioned his own worthiness to replace the old bulb with a new one, and thus condemn the new bulb to the same fate as the old; and when he finally did switch on the new bulb, he knew that he really did prefer the cold comfort of the dark, and that the darkness was where he belonged for all eternity - not that anyone cares. :cry:

Great original post. I think I would add just one more item at the bottom, though.

1 to unscrew the light bulb and replace it with a faint glow stick.

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed


kinda sums it up there.. the rest of them don't really actually help in the lightbulb changing process.
