Rush Limbaugh is a Pathetic Windbag

How many to screw in a lightbulb?

it depends on the group involved, be they buckeyes, spartans, attorneys, democrats, republicans, pregnant ladies, SEC fans, Poles, psychiatrists, etc etc, but I've been told to "butt out" in regards to this issue, so I'll stop.
 
Do we need to count all the people responsible for creating the lightbulb, its individual parts, the socket and all its parts, the building housing the socket and all its parts, the store where the parts were purchased, the transportation to and from the store and how that method of transportation was created, the electrical generation facilities, without which there would be no need to screw in the lightbulb, and countless others I have unfortunately but unintentionally overlooked?

It only takes one Michigan Man, and all he has to do is hold the bulb up and wait while the world continues to revolve around him.

I guess I had never really considered it from this perspective.

It takes two Buckeyes; one to screw in the lightbulb, and the other one to bail him out of jail so he can do it.

Matt Ridley can't stop thinking in these terms. How many hours of labor does it take to buy an hour of light as we increasing borrow the labor of others. You only consume a tiny fraction of each person's work, but just in terms of how many people make things for you...it's more than kings not that long ago.

Of course, you might work for millions of people yourself.

That isn't what I meant, of course, jolly joker, and since when have you ever done what I asked?

They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords"
