how many X's does it take to change/screw in a light bulb?

Ans. Y--(explaination.)
--------------------------------------------------
1- the classic, X=Poles--Y=4, 1 to hold the bulb, 3 turn the ladder

2--X=californian? Y=3, 1 to change the bulb, 1 to file environmental impact statement, and 1 to share the experience

3-WASP's? (white, anglo-saxon protestants)2-- 1 to mix martini's, 1 to call electrician

4-shrink's? (psychiatrist(sp?)1--but the light bulb really has to want to change.

5-Programmers? 0, (it's a hard ware problem, man call a techie)

6--MicroSoft programers? 0, Darkness is a new feature

7-Jewish Mothers? 0 again! (oy, i'll just sit here in the dark, you shouldn't worry yourself about me or the lightbulb)

8-NYers (NYC'ers really) ?? Who the f*** wants to know?(said with attitude)

9--Flys? 2 --the hard part is getting them INTO the lightbulb.

10 Blonde models? (alterately jewish princess) 1, she just stands there and waits for the world to revolve around her.

there are lots of others, these are the ones i remember..
(others can share, too.)

No, that's not how it goes.

A: Californians don't screw in light bulbs, they screw in hot tubs.

Two I came up with myself:

How many potters does it take to change a lightbulb?
Two - one to hold the lightbulb and one to kick the wheel.

How many Canadians does it take to change a lightbulb?
Eleven - one to hold the lightbulb and ten to sit on a Royal Commission to decide which way it should turn.

Here's another B-D joke

A Belgian is on holiday in Ireland. During a walk he meets a shepherd with a large flock of sheep. The Belgian asks : "If I can guess how many sheep you flock counts , can I have one?
"Allright" the shepherd says on which the Belgian immediately answers: " 176 ". " That's exactly right " says the shepherd astonished. The Belgian thanks the man, chooses a nice specimen and walks off with the animal over his shoulders. " Hey!Wait a minute !" the shepherd runs after him and says : " If I can guess what country you're from , can I have my dog back?"

Why does , whoever the dummy may be , take a stone and a flashlight to bed?

The first he needs to put the light out and with the second he makes sure that it is really out.
