This one isn't mine, somebody posted it on Firehouse, but I thought it was funny nonetheless... Q: How many whackers are needed to change a light bulb? A: Am I allowed to put a red one? Does it have to be just one bulb? What kind, halogen or LED?

Well it looks like I am going to answer first- so I guess I win..... It took 1345 on your scenario- the only problem is I can't tell how many double posted, or reposted, so some of the posts could be the same person bringing up another aspect of the whole thing. Pimp- what do I win? Mike
