How many does it take to screw in a lightbulb

(via Narike)
Goodness it had me laughing! We had to add the graphic design one in tho... as per usual it seems they forgot we were part of the process...

• Q: How many sub-editors does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
• A: We can't tell whether you mean "insert a new lightbulb" or "have sexual relations inside a lightbulb". Can we reword it to remove ambiguity?


• Q: How many art directors does it take to change a lightbulb?
• A: Does it have to be a lightbulb?


• Q: How many proofreaders does it take to change a lightbulb?
• A: The last time this was asked it involved Art Directors. Is the difference intentional? It seems inconsistent.


• Q: How many writers does it take to change a lightbulb?
• A: Why do we have to change it?


• Q: How many editors does it take to change a lightbulb?
• A: It was supposed to be in place last week!


• Q: How many publishers does it take to change a lightbulb?
• A: Three. One to screw it in and two more to hold down the editor.


• Q: How many graphic designers does it take to change a lightbulb?
• There's not enough time to change it a 3rd time - we'll just have to make it look better'

• Q: How many marketing directors does it take to change a lightbulb?
• A: It isn't too late to make it neon, is it?


• Q: How many advertising directors does it take to change a lightbulb?
• A: We're not sure because the client might change it tomorrow. Cut some editorial anyway.


• Q: How many sales directors does it take to change a lightbulb?
• A: (pause) I get it! It's one of those lightbulb jokes, right?
