What, no environmentalists telling us how using electricity for inefficient light bulbs rapes the planet?

They know that we know that those "green lightbulbs" are full of deadly environmental toxins
like mercury and are destroying our pristine landfills.

Hey, did you guys enjoy breaking those big florescent tubes like I did when you were kids?

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Left out "One to hijack the thread by telling a different version of the joke, which is then matched by versions from several other posters".

And with that...

How many rednecks does it take to change a lightbulb?

Four. One to change the bulb, one to write a song about it, two to get drunk and go out in the front yard to fight about it.

Do you change the bulb in a bug zapper or just buy a new one?

How many physicists to change a light bulb? 

1, but it's only approximately changed, because it was assumed to be a sphere.

Hint: Physics jokes aren't funny!

Dr, Heisenberg was one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, but like so many other scientists tended not to pay much attention to more mundane matters.  One evening, as he was driving home from the lab, he was surprised to see the lights of a police car in his rear view mirror.  Dutifully he pulled over and rolled down the window.  The officer comes up to his door and says, "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"

Heisenberg replied, "No, but I know where I am."
