Here is the second of the series. 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.
