Re: Clean, fun jokes... the tradition continues
A: There is a great deal of debate on this issue. Up until the mid-20th century, the accepted answer was ‘one’: and this Whiggish narrative underpinned a number of works that celebrated electrification and the march of progress in light-bulb changing. Beginning in the 1960s, however, social historians increasingly rejected the ‘Great Man’ school and produced revisionist narratives that stressed the contributions of research assistants and custodial staff. This new consensus was challenged, in turn, by women’s historians, who criticized the social interpretation for marginalizing women, and who argued that light bulbs are actually changed by department secretaries. Since the 1980s, however, postmodernist scholars have deconstructed what they characterize as a repressive hegemonic discourse of light-bulb changing, with its implicit binary opposition between ‘light’ and ‘darkness,’ and its phallogocentric privileging of the bulb over the socket, which they see as colonialist, sexist, and racist. Finally, a new generation of neo-conservative historians have concluded that the light never needed changing in the first place, and have praised political leaders like Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher for bringing back the old bulb. Clearly, much additional research remains to be done.

At the risk of starting a new trend (please don't folks!) ... my wife is a psychologist, so:
Q: How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one, but the light bulb has to want to be changed...
... and of course Astronomers don't change light bulbs: they just leave them broken - particularly street lights: but them some idiot tells the local Council, and they fix them!
True story: one of my astronomy colleagues worked out that if he aimed a green laser onto the street light sensor it could turn off the light. The trick is to fix the laser so it stays on the sensor...

Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE

I must admit, I have never been thrown (or fallen off) from my horse to get in that state. However, I have got my back a bit muddy when cantering/galloping through a muddy forest
