I know there are some vehement lightbulb jokes phobics out there. Send your flames to me, not the net. However, the last list on the net didn't mention Seattle LBJ's so here they are, straight from "the Weekly" issue February 9, 1983: HOW MANY SEATTLEITES DOES IT TAKE TO SCREW IN A LIGHTBULB? December 1980 "The Seattle Sun" issues its famous manifesto, "How many Seattleites Does It Take To Screw In A Lightbulb?" The answer, broken down by neighborhood: First Hill: Three. One to find a bulb specialist, one to find a bulb installation specialist, and one to bill it all to Medicare. Federal Way: A thousand. One to screw it in and the rest to build a mall around it. Ballard: Seven. One to hold the bulb, five to turn the boat, and one to call up seven Indians to share half the light. Green Lake: Three. One to screw the bulb in and two to take a few laps around it. Capitol Hill: Two. One to screw in the bulb and one to organize a potluck benefit for it. West Seattle: Two. One to hold the bulb and one to ram it with a freighter. Belltown: Three. One to screw it in and two to make a color Xerox of it. Broadway: Two. One to hold the fern out of the way and one to screw the bulb in. Fremont: Two. One to screw the bulb in and one to make sure the burned-out one gets recycled. Downtown: Two. One to round up a group of Canadian investors and one to commission Martin Selig to construct a 70-story socket based on an existing socket in New York. Laurelhurst: Two. One bourgeois homeowner to screw in the bulb and one George Jackson Brigade member to bomb the substation. Wallingford: Two. One to screw the bulb in and one to check for the union label. Sortly after, the "Sun" goes bankrupt.
