    How many Deadheads does it take to change a light bulb?

    12,001. That's one to change it, 2,000 to record the event and take pictures, and 10,000 to follow it around until it burns out.

    I thought it was cute and had to share.

    I didn't say I thought it was funny. I said I thought it was cute. I usually read all kinds of jokes about every stereo-type out there with the exception of hippies. For once I saw one. If you found it offensive, I don't understand why. I constantly make jokes about flaggers (traffic control) and yet I'm a flagger trainer and an office manager for a traffic control company.

    How many flaggers does it take to screw in a light bulb? All of them. One to change it, 50% to supervise it and 50% to discuss the technique the flagger used to screw in the light bulb.

    The joke never suggested anything about being a burn out.. If it did, I guess it went totally over my head.

    Actually.. I know.. I did this on purpose. A few of us used to say this to the flaggers that we trained. Only a few of them actually said, "this doesn't add up". Flaggers don't need to be rocket scientists. The only requirement is common sense, physical stamina and fast reaction. Therefore, most of our flaggers aren't very smart at all.
