We’ve seen a lot of stressful news this weekend, so to add a little levity to the week, we’re bringing you the best Light Bulb Jokes from this week’s Prairie Home Companion-plus a few choice additions from the Sojourners blog team. We all need a good laugh.

Ready?

10. How many production assistants does it take to screw in a light bulb?

                Three. One to screw in the light bulb and two to wish they had been asked instead.

9. How many Marxists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

                None. The light bulb contains the seeds of its own revolution.

8. How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?

                One, but the light bulb has to really want to change.  

7. How many cockroaches does it take to screw in a light bulb?

                No one knows- when it turns on, they scatter!

6. How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

                That’s not funny.

5. How many academics does it take to change a light bulb?

                None- that’s what graduate students are for!

4. How many administrative assistants does it take to change a light bulb?

               None. I can't do anything unless you complete the Light Bulb Design Change Request Form.

3. How many Apple employees does it take to screw in a light bulb?

               Seven. One to change the light bulb. Six to design the t-Shirt.

2. How many Catholics does it take to change a light bulb?

                Change? Did you say CHANGE? HA!

1. How many Christians does it take to screw in a light bulb?

                Three, but they’re really ONE.
