ow many men does it take to change a light bulb?
Two million, six hundred and twenty thousand, and ninety four.
1 to buy the bulb, change it and throw the old one in the bin
2000 to extract, ship, design and forge, deliver, market and sell the raw materials for the bin
5 to crew the wagon that carries the old light bulb away.
20 to man their refuse depot.
40 to man the landfill site that buries the old bulb
20 to wrestle the fundamental secrets of electricity from the universe
5 to invent the lightbulb after decades of trial, error, sweat, risk, insight and innovation
3 to design the particular style of bulb
100,000 to evolve the glassblowing process over millennia of tragic accidents and astonishing inspiration
2000 to design, inspect, approve, construct, secure, maintain and wire the building that the light socket sits in
500,000 to build and maintain the infrastructure that delivers energy to the light socket
1000 to build the factory that made the light bulb
5000 to man the supply chain of raw materials for it
1,000,000 to build their ships, trains and trucks
10,000 to tarmac the road and lay the tracks that the raw materials traveled over
1,000,000 to insure them all, and to never breathe a word about their loss
How many women does it take to change a lightbulb? One
One to nag her boyfriend to buy the lightbulb. The same one to get him to drive her to the DIY store and wait while she takes an hour to choose the one she wants, then borrow the money off and never pay it back. The same one to expect him to drive her home and nag him to fit the bulb. The same one to complain it is too bright / dim / colourful / bland / over designed / under designed, to stage an environmental protest outside the landfill site, sue the builders for sexual discrimination, write a false history that marginalized the men who made it possible, and demand that everyone around her pays for her massively overpriced, self-aggrandising wedding. The same one to divorce him, steal all his earnings, shove him out of his children’s lives, manipulate the legislative process and its enforcers to entrench her position, falsely accuse the builders of sexual assault, claim all the credit for a reproductive process in which she is entirely passive and indulged, make self-serving assertions that everything would be far better if women had done it all, and to call all her friends to ***** about having to change the lightbulb without any support from her useless ex-husband.

Please Give Me Your Opinions On This Joke Regarding Women And Lightbulbs. Yes It Is Offensive, No I Don’t Care?
Posted on April 17, 2012.
Nowhere near as good as:-
Q: How many women does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: 11. 10 to form a lightbulb changing committee, and one to ask her boyfriend to do it.
And you seem to be forgetting not only men are part of the workforces you mentioned.

@”I thought it was 1 to change the lightbulb and 10 to form the “survivors of the darkness” group?”
Got to admit I like that one. Maybe some day I should start a day of remembrance for “Those few who let the many see, bravely stretched further than most, beyond all normal human limits and expectations, all the way to the dizzying height of the light fitting.”?

@”10 pts to whoever is the first one to know that reference.”
Oh baby yeah, I’ll play the part of the points whore! It’s Austin Powers.
Women are supposedly the ones who overthink or overcomplicate things, yet a man went to the trouble of turning a simple task like changing a light bulb into such a huge event.
“and demand that everyone around her pays for her massively overpriced, self-aggrandising wedding. ”
That part made me laugh.
I can’t answer! I’m to busy ROFL’ing!
XD HAHAHAHA
Sounds pretty accurate to me. Especially the part about manipulating the legal system.
It’s boring, stupid and not funny.
Lol.
It’s kind of funny, but it’s too long.
i didn’t read the whole thing it was too long
Yes, feminists should thank MEN for even existing!
They complain about sh*t that happened five hundred years ago then turn around and attack your position asking if you PERSONALLY tarmac the road!
Dumbasses
LOL cute joke. You do realise you can buy lightbulbs in bulk at the supermarket? If I had to go to the shop with my husband every time we needed a lightbulb we’d probably have time to do nothing else. You buy the light bulbs at the supermarket while you’re doing the weekly groceries. You are pretty bitter. I work, my pay packet pays for groceries, bills and school fees, my husbands stays in the bank to pay the mortgage. Some people just live their lives, without any particular crusade in mind. Clearly you don’t have a family as you seem to have time to be a crusader. But yes, it was a funny joke. I don’t find it offensive, I don’t think the ridiculous can be offensive.
It’s kind of stupid. It’s jut a lightbulb…it’s not that hard to change a lightbulb. There are probably 1 in 1,000,000 women who act like that.
