Short for a Light Bulb Joke. A sometimes offensive joke that follows the general pattern:
- How many
something does it take to change a light bulb?
-
Number. Short explanation.
Two examples can maybe help explain it:
- How many hardware folks does it take to change a light bulb?
- None. That's a software problem.
- How many jugglers does it take to change a light bulb?
- One, but it takes at least three light bulbs.
One of the
largest and most
widespread collections of
canonical light bulb jokes is the one gathered by Kurt Guntheroth.
