At least Nigel has heard me tell this one.

How many angels does it take to screw in a light bulb?

At least 2.

The real question is..  why are they in a light bulb?
It must be a turn On.
You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

How many recovering alcoholics does it take to screw in a light bulb?


None... they'll just turn it over, walk away, and let it screw itself.

How many drummers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

None.

They just sit in the dark.

Alone.

I liked this one extra because the old man is a drummer.

What is far more annoying than an Athenian philosopher?

Two of them.



Apocryphal, considered the height of Spartan humor during the very brief 'more words' period of Laconic philosophy. Records are sketchy as much was lost to a social backlash that saw almost all documents written from the period used as shop rags and toiletry accessories.

Eight priests were going to the French Riviera on vacation and decided that they would make this a real adventure by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. That would be easy because the Riviera is clothing optional. So as soon as the plane landed, they headed for a store and bought some really big, outrageous, cool sunglasses.

The next morning, the priests went to the beach wearing only sun block, the sunglasses and a smile.  They were sitting on beach chairs enjoying a drink, when a drop dead gorgeous blonde, obviously natural, came walking straight toward them with her breasts swinging like church bells.

They couldn't help but stare and then she smiled and said, "Good morning Father, good morning Father..." nodding and addressing each one of them individually, then passed on by. They were stunned -- how in the world did she recognise all of them as priests?

The next day they went back to the store to buy huge outrageous hats to complete the disguise. Again they settled on the beach, in their chairs, drinks in hand, to enjoy the sunshine.

After a while, the same gorgeous blonde, wearing only a sun hat this time, came walking toward them again.

She approached them and greeted them individually, "Good morning, Father, good morning Father..." and started to walk away.

One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Just a minute young lady. Yes we are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world did YOU know?!"
"Oh, Father, don't you recognise me? I'm Sister Angela."

When you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss snidely responds "why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer"

It seems that the day after I posted this SMBC did a similar but much better executed version of the same joke:

Mostly how comfortable you are with a tie.
