Context

Q: How many New York Times news editors does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: That’s not a lightbulb, it’s a 1964 Corvair convertible with racing seats. And what precisely do you mean by “screw in”?

  1. 2, by definition?

    That’s a pretty big lightbulb if you can get enough people in it to screw, especially considering the size of New York Times editor’s heads and egos.

    “Unsafe at any speed,” eh?

  3. Jeff G says:

    Particularly at the speed of rock!

  4. Robin Roberts says:

    Have I ever explained Roberts’ Theory of Completeness?  Its my theory that all the knowledge in the Universe can be contained in a sufficiently large set of light bulb jokes.

    No, really.  Its a corollary of Goedel’s Incompleteness Theorem.
