How many Yank tourists to change a light bulb

How many American tourists does it take to change a light bulb.

Fifteen. Five to figure out how much the bulb costs in the local currency,
four to comment on "how funny-looking" local lightbulbs are, three to hire a local person to change the bulb, two to take pictures, and one to buy postcards in case the pictures don't come out.

LOL, Good one...

Maybe we need to start a separate forum to pick each other brains.

HEHEHEHEHE

You earn your psychedelic medal for your last joke since Great Britain is hosting the next Oil-yimpics....LOL

Two Americans boarded a flight out of Doha. One sat in the window seat and the other sat in the middle seat. Just before take-off, a Brit got on and took the aisle seat. After take-off, the Brit kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the American in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get a beer."

"No problem," said the Brit, "I'll get it for you."

While he was gone, one of the Americans picked up the Brits's shoe and spat in it. When he returned with the beer, the other American said, "That looks good; I think I'll have one too."

Again, the Brit obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the other American picked up the other shoe and spat in it.

When the Brit returned to his seat, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.

As the plane was landing, the Brit slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.

"Why does it have to be this way?" he asked. "How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in our shoes, and pissing in their beers."

Hey Scarlett,

Along with the teeth and complexion - you forgot the ears. Someone should pin those babies back don't ya think? j/k of course.

Britextpat - I have to admit that I am guilty of point 1 and point 2 but I would like you to know that I not only found a ladder to change the bulbs but carried said ladder up the stairs and changed said light bulbs on my own. Wanna know why? Because I'm not only a very capable American but I am also a very capable woman!

Three British guys show up with a work order to change a light bulb in a hotel room in downtown London.

One was carrying a ladder, his profile was of Hindustan heritage.

The second man was carrying the tool bag, his profile was of Middle Eastern heritage.

The third guy was very fat and very tall, white hair dude, with a very strong accent from North London and smoking a cigar, shouting out: Come on Lads, You boys got work to do!

He was the supervisor.

I'm just glad it wasn't another polish joke. This Pollock certainly knows how to change a damn lightbulb!!

seems to be alright to slam us Americans but not to do the return if you ARE an American..we are just supposed to grin and take it...

BEsides...I heard that joke years ago but the question was how many Brits it took to change a light bulb...and the answer was it didn't take ANY because they were all waiting on their government to approve the useage of the ladder before allowing any of the brits to CHANGE the bulb...kind of like their health care system.
