bulb joke

[John W. Verity]

HOW MANY REPUBLICANS DOES IT TAKE TO SCREW IN A LIGHT BULB? 


     Four hundred and seventy one: 
     12 to investigate Clinton's involvement in the failure of the old 
bulb, 
     23 to deregulate the light bulb industry, 
     16 to cut funding for alternative lighting R&D, 
     34 to cut the marginal tax rate on high-wattage light bulbs, 
     9 to threaten trade sanctions if Germany and Japan don't start 
buying 
more 110-volt bulbs, 
     53 to design a block grant so the states can change the bulb, 
     41 to chat with defense contractors about equipping everyone in the 
building with night-vision gear instead, and 
     283 to pass a law making it illegal to discuss naked bulbs, or 
screwing anything, on the Internet.
