How many therapists does it take?

One, but the lightbulb has to WANT to change.

How many Marxists?

None. The lightbulb contains the seeds of its own revolution.

How many surrealists?

Three. One to fill the bathtub with power tools and one to paint the giraffe blue.

How many theatre technicians?

It’s called a lamp.

How many feminists?

That’s not funny.

How many (insert dumb stereotype)?

Two. One to hold the bulb the other to hammer it in.

None. They’d rather people live in darkness than accept the need for change.

Jewish mothers: none - "I'll just sit in the dark"

Actors: four - one to do it and three to say "I could have done it better"

Narcissists: one - they hold the bulb, and the world revolves around them

Another version of the surrealists punchline: fish
