How many Rose-Hulman students does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One to call housekeeping, another one to call housekeeping again five minutes later, then 3,000 to bitch about how slow they are and how they don't have time to change it themselves.

It's funny if you know anyone here.

46. One to change it, 30 to poll community reaction to the change, and fifteen to fake the poll results in order to show that community bias against the change means that the bulb should be moved to another nearby college.

15. USAITB lightbulb changing SOP
USAITB=United States Army Intelligence Training Brigade, Goodfellow AFB, Texas

1. Soldier who determines light is out of service reports status of light to SM's squad leader.

2. Squad leader forwards report to platoon sergeant, who forwards report to first sergeant. First sergeant issues DA Form 2404 (Equipment Maintenance and Inspection Worksheet) to platoon sergeant, who passes it down the chain of command to the soldier who observed the item of malfunctioning military equipment.

3. Soldier conducts complete Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services on malfunctioning military equipment. If the light bulb is found to be in a non-operational status, soldier will record this fact on the 2404, then remove the non-operational light bulb from the equipment.

4. Not later than 6 hours after beginning maintenance transaction, the 2404 and non-operational light bulb will be turned in to the squad leader, who will turn the non-operational light bulb into the Supply Room for Direct Exchange supply transaction. //This part's real--you have to turn the burnt-out one in to supply to get a new one.//

5. Upon receiving an operational light bulb from the supply sergeant, the squad leader will return the 2404 to the initiating soldier and issue the soldier the operational light bulb. The soldier will install the light bulb into the military equipment using a stepladder or other safe equipment. After the military equipment has been returned to full function, the soldier will annotate the 2404 and return it to the squad leader. When the 2404 has been returned to the first sergeant, the maintenance action will be considered complete.

//About a day after I put this up on a remote corner of the bulletin board, the first sergeant tapped me on the shoulder. "You got any idea who came up with the Disposition Form requiring soldiers to fill out 2404s on burned-out light bulbs?" Yeah, it was me. "Did you know five trainees have fallen for it already?" He left it up the entire time I was there. Thought it was funny.//

20. How many Yale *grads* does it take to change a lightbulb?
Edited on Thu Feb-12-04 07:40 PM by KamaAina
One -- unless it happens to be George Walker Bush, DC'68, in which case New Haven, then the world, will be subjected to a horrific and utterly pointless "war on darkness".

Edit: New Haven does NOT look better in the dark -- unless you happen to be partying at Toad's Place or something. :grr: It's America's first planned city, ahead of Washington, even, for Pete's sake.
