How many crusties does it take to change a light bulb?
Twelve. Crusty #1 yanks the old bulb out and crusty #2 is
just about to put the new one in when crusties #3 and #4
stagger in and start arguing that it's their turn. In the
ensuing squabble the bulb gets dropped on the floor and
smashes. Then crusty #5 points out what a good laugh this is
and so chief crusty (#6) dispatches crusties #7 and #8 to go
down the shops to buy a new one. After having visited at
least 2 off licences on the way, they find their way into the
hardware shop. While crusty #7 is busily trying to buy 6 new
bulbs for the princely sum of 10p each and a can of special
brew, crusty #8 is busy liberating as many as will fit into
his long grey shapeless overcoat's pockets. They are joined
on the way back by crusties #9 and #10 whose names they've
forgotten but they do at least sound familiar, and much
frivolous hugging ensues until someone remembers what the
trip down the shops was all about. On their way back into the
squat they pass crusty #11, who has only just joined the
group, and who is just on his way out to go and get his hair
crimped. Anyway once inside, the light bulbs are all smashed
on the floor and the stereo is cranked up so the dancing can
begin. At this point crusty #12 comes back in from a
Levellers gig and collapses in a corner, only to find he is
lying on something that makes a noise, which turns out to be
the dog, holding the last unsmashed light bulb in its mouth.

| So Long, And Thanks For Laughing |
1That joke is a lot funnier if you know a little bit
about the wonderful world of commercial radio. Suffice it to
say that it is a highly unionized environment, and there is
always a little friendly bickering between the
technicians and the jocks. 2 VMM=Vegetarian Matchmakers, a singles group where nobody
ever puts their foot down and demands that anyone should do
anything.3 Realtor is a person who deals in real-estate, the joke
referes to the many arabs who are moving to high-class
neigbourhoods in the United States.4Note: Twin Peaks has a murderer who wraps the victims in
plastic.5 BATF is The US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms,
repsonsible for setting up that Waco (We Aint Coming Out !)
Branch Davidians siege in spring 1993, which ended in a
fashion the second punchline suggests.6Hegel and Marx use a logical procedure called
dialectics to seek answers to seemingly mutual exclusive
positions. Shortened it is "thesis, antithesis, synthesis".
Thus 'no light' and 'no dark' can arrive at a middle ground
through logical examination 'it's dark but it can be made
light'.7This is guaranteed true by someone who used to work
there. The stories refer to wild copious drinking and also a
few bedroom exploits.8furries = characters in what's called "furry" science
fiction. Best depicted on cover art; the men look like
bodybuilders, the women are indescribably buxom, and both
wear some version of Tarzan/Jane-style costumes to show as
much skin and musculature as possible.9 "Poor Richard's Almanac" is a classic of colonial Americana, written (pseudonymously) by Ben Franklin in the 1740s. It advocates a simple, thrifty lifestyle in the form of aphorisms, including that one, so it makes a nice play on words.
