Presidential Aids & Light Blubs

How Many Presidential Aids Does It Take To Change a Light Bulb? Not surprisingly, the number depends on the President,,,,,

NIXON: Only one to change the light bulb but five to go out in the middle of the night and steal the light bulb. Then nine to lie and cover up for the five who got caught stealing the light bulb.

FORD: Three to select the study committee, nine to sit on the study committee, five to review the study committee's report, one to shelve the report.

CARTER: The president went out himself and purchased a dozen bulbs at a discount, then he changed the bulb himself. Then it took three to write the press release, two to apologize for violating union rules, and five union electricians to put back the old burned out bulb.

BUSH: Twenty five to smuggle cocaine from Colombia and divert the profits to light bulb purchase. Three to launder the excess funds. Two to explain that the president was out of the loop.
