Light Bulb
Q: How many engineering students does it take to change
a lightbulb?
A: One, but the rest of the class copies the report.
Q: How many software engineers does it take to change a
lightbulb?
A: None: "We'll document it in the manual."
Q: How many field service engineers does it take to
replace a dead
light
bulb?
A: Who can tell. Field service engineers are always in
the dark.
A: None. They just have marketing portray the dead bulb
as a feature.
A: 2. One to hold the bulb and one to pound it in (etc)
A: Well, the diagnostics all check out fine, so it's a software
problem.
A: None: "We'll fix it in software."
Q: How many signal processing engineers does it take
to change a
lightbulb ?
A: Three. One to Fourier transform the lightbulb, one
to apply a
complex exponential rotational shifting operator, and
one to inverse
transform the removed lightbulb.
Q: How many IBM types does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Just one, provided there's an engineer around to
explain how to do
it.
A: 100. Ten to do it, and 90 to write document number
GC7500439-0001,
Multitasking Incandescent Source System Facility, of
which 10% of the
pages state only "This page intentionally left blank",
and 20% of the
definitions are of the form "A ...... consists of sequences of
non-blank characters separated by blanks".
(Notes : This is one of the most impressively durable
LBJs. It occurs,
virtually letter-for-letter identical, in lists whose
contents are
otherwise wildly different.)
Q: How many first year civil engineering students does
it take to
change a lightbulb ?
A: None. That's a second year subject.
Q: How many nuclear engineers does it take to change a
light bulb?
A: Seven. One to install the new bulb and six to figure
out what to do
with the old one for the next 10,000 years.
Q: How does an engineer change a lightbulb?
A: As long as lighting levels are within operational
parameters, he
doesn't !
