Bonus question: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Answer: Why are we always questioning the motives of the chicken? If the chicken wants to cross the road, it can cross the road. It’s not our place to question that, leave the poor chicken alone.

    These are great. Have you seen the lightbulb jokes for church denominations?
    My favorite: How many United Methodists does it take to change a light bulb?
    Undetermined. Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved –you can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Church wide lighting service is planned for Sunday. Bring bulb of your choice and a covered dish.

    Thanks for the laughs! The light bulb in the water faucet produced a LOL. 🙂

    I love those. I did something similar in my “How to get in the USNA” book but this was for Ivy League colleges. Of course, you’ll agree USNA’s is the best answer:

    How many students does it take to screw in a light bulb at:

    Harvard: One—he holds the bulb and the world revolves around him
    Yale: None—New Haven looks better in the dark
    Penn: Only one, but he gets six credits for it
    Brown: Eleven—one to change the bulb and ten to share the experience
    Princeton: Two—one to mix the martinis and one to call the electrician
    Cornell: Two—One to change the bulb and one to crack under pressure
    Stanford: One, dude
    USNA: One
