Q:
How many Canadians does it take to
change a lightbulb ?
A: Twelve. Four to form a Parliamentary study
committee to decide how
to solve the problem, one Francophone to
complain that I didn’t
translate this joke into French, one Native
Canadian to protest that the
interests of Native Canadians have been
overlooked, one woman from the
National Action Committee On the Status
Of Women to say that women have been
underrepresented in the
process, one to go over the border to the
Niagara Falls Factory Outlet
Mall and buy a new bulb and not pay duty on it
on the way back, one
to actually screw it in, one to collect taxes on
the whole procedure
so the government can afford it, one to buy a case
of Molson for
everybody to drink, and one to drop the puck.
