Notes on the Canonical Collection of Funny Light Bulb Jokes:

   This file is derived from the connonical collection of light bulb
   jokes as posted by vax2!kurt by deleting all the unfunny jokes. His
   notes follow:

   This file is the canonical collection of light bulb jokes, posted as a
   public service to prevent a steady trickle of light bulb jokes must of
   which will be repeats.  Light bulb jokes have a period of four to six
   months between recurrances, and long-time news readers look forward with
   dread to each new round of the same old jokes.

   It is possible to construct infinite small variations on these jokes by
   substituting particular ethnic groups into these jokes, or by expanding
   certain jokes into seventy line monsters.  I have resisted this impulse.

   Of course you may substitue any ethnic group for ''.  I feel it
   would take all the fun out for me to pick on a single ethnic group when
   there are so many and when I don't know your personal prejudices.

   The WASPs in the following jokes are `White Anglo-Saxon Protestants' and
   are assumed to represent any upper-middle class, loose lifestyle people.
   In Seattle, these are 'Mercer Islander' jokes.  In California, they are
   'Marin County' jokes.

   !WARNING!  This file contains material of a satirical nature.  It may be
   offensive to members of the following groups:

   Californians		Oregonians	New Yorkers	New Jersey-ians
   Generals		Politicians	Marxists	supply-side economists
   Athletes		Students	artists		Professors
   Psychiatrists	Psychologists	Doctors		Lawyers
   Christians		Jews		Zen Budhists	gods
   Vice Presidents	Managers		Russians	
   Feminists		mice		Homosexuals	Lesbians
   Software people	IBM employees	WASPs		Bell-Labs Employees

   and no doubt others who are offended to have been left out of this list.
