The Top 7 Answers to “How Many
Absurdist Humor Writers Does It
Take to Screw in a Light Bulb?”


7> Depends… will the bulb be over Superman’s or Charlie Brown’s head?

6> The purple one!

5> Four. One to change the bulb and three process Nazis to argue about what the correct way should have been.

4> Stigmatic Trout

3> Watson, come here! I need you!

2> Two… but they have to be very tiny and quite heat resistant.

and the Number 1 Answer to “How Many Absurdist Humor Writers Does
It Take to Screw in a Light Bulb?”…

1> Several hundred, since absurdist humor writers tend to have minimal screwing experience. And if it’s a three-way bulb, forget it.

(Brad Simanek, Cedar Rapids, IA)
