"Screwing in a light bulb"

Before I do my "changing lightbulbs" thingie, We went to shoot air-soft for my son 11th birthday today and I will post tomorrow about it.

One, but the rest of the class copies the report.

How many computer engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
"Why bother? The socket will be obsolete in six months anyway."


How many mechanical engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

How many altos?
One to set up the ladder and the other to complain it is too high.

How many choir directors?
Nobody knows--nobody's ever watching. 
 
How many software engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?

None, that's a hardware problem.
