How many dogs does it take to change a bulb?

1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining; the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out bulb?

2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up-to-code.

3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

4. Rottweiler: Make me.

5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb.

10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

12. Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there.....

13. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

14. Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

15. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

16. Yorkie: No matter. I'll just curl up on my satin pillow and wait until someone else does it.

17. Bulldog: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

18. Chessie: Can I eat it? Huh? Can I? Please? Huh?? Well, okay, then, can I CHEW it??? Aw, c'mon, PLEEEEEEASE????? Just a LITTLE BITE???? No????? <siiiiiigh> okaaaayyyyyy.

The Cat's Answer: "Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is: How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"

And while one of the dogs is rushing around trying to change/chew the lightbulb, the cat will sit there with a disdainful look on his face, as though he is saying "I wish to make it known that I am not associated with that creature in any way..." [Linked Image]

Add to that, the cat will look at you in the near-dark as if to say "Change the light already, I'm trying to see" in spite of the fact that the cat can see almost perfectly well in the minimal light.

When the light is on after your effort, the cat will disdainfully squint its eyes as if to remind you that you're a bonafide nuisance and turn its head as a final flourish that screams, "I would never play patsy at the whim of a higher form of life."

So True!!

How many Microsoft tech support people does it take to change a light bulb?
We have an exact copy of the light bulb (TM) here, and it seems to be working fine. Can you tell me what kind of system you have? Okay. Now exactly how dark is it? Okay, there could be 4 or 5 things wrong...have you tried the light switch?

How many Microsoft vice presidents does it take to change a light bulb?
Eight. One to work the bulb, and seven to make sure that Microsoft gets $2 for every light bulb ever changed anywhere in the world.

How many Microsoft engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
None. Bill Gates will just redefine Darkness(TM) as the new industry standard

I can't remember all of it, but it was something like that: "How many Microsoft tech engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
10. One changes the bulb, one modifies the socket so Apple bulbs won't fit,..." and so on.
