How many production people does it take to change a light bulb?
That light bulb was supposed to have been changed last week!

How many copy editors does it take to change a light bulb?

How many cover blurb writers does it take to change a light bulb?
A vast and teeming horde stretching from sea to shining sea.

How many finance people does it take to change a light bulb?
One; but they’re not changing it until someone’s signed the invoice for the new bulb. And how come we’re going through so many light bulbs anyhow?

How many sales directors does it take to change a light bulb?
