Time for a contest

Juulie and I were so bored during our games last night, we decided to come up with a contest. OK, to be fair, she had nothing to do with it, but I didn't want to take all the credit.

The winner will have the funniest ending to this joke:

"How many coaches does it take to put in a light bulb?"

Notice I didn't say "screw in a light bulb" because I wanted to keep the responses relatively clean.

Juulie and I will be the judges. In case of a tie, I get two votes.

The winner gets a Bobby Knight pinata. The runner up gets a free copy of the book "Anger Management - What's Up With That?" by Rasheed Wallace.

OK - there's really no prizes, but I thought that sounded funny.

Don't need to; they're very comfortable in the dark.

Three! Three! Three! He's in there all day! Three!! Four!!! Five!!!!

submission #2:

Q: How many coaches does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: Two, but don't ask me how they got in there.

Q: How many coaches does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: We have no official comment until the NCAA reviews the case . . .

It never occurs to the coach to change the light bulb. He just stands there in the dark yelling "I guess you didn't see that, either!" over and over.

I think this is covered in 10-9 somewhere.

If the state uses the coaching box only the head coach can remain standing to change the bulb.

However the assistant may rise spontaneously to flip the switch
then return to the bench.

Mark -- I think we should wait until next Tues or Wed to choose a winner, just to give everyone a chance (especially people who only read the board on company time!).

Trick question. None of the coaches would have ever read the instruction manual on putting light bulbs in.

I agree. Let's make the cut off Wednesday, July 2 at 9:30 pm Pacific time. I should just be getting home from my "Dave game" with Beavis the Wonder Jerk.

BTW - I like the responses so far.

Shame on you for starting this thread. Now all of the coaches that own a rule book (both of them) have worn the index out looking for "light bulb".

two--one to do it and one to be "over his back"

Just one; especially if he gives the light bulb a bad rating after a loss.

It doesn't really matter. Even if the light is on, nobody's home!

One. But you can bet your bottom dollar that the coach will take as much time as possible selecting a "substitute" for the bulb that has burnt out...

I mentioned this to my son, Josh, and he said "It doesn't matter how many try - they'll never figure it out".

And no - he's not in the contest. It wouldn't be fair for me to award him the victory based on the theory of relativity.
