HOW MANY STUDENTS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB AT:

-EXETER: 20 - a committee composed of students from every possible ethnic
group to screw it in unison.

-ST. PAUL'S: 3 - one to screw it in and two to sculpt the old one into a
bong.

-ANDOVER: 1 - He holds the bulb and the world revolves around him.

-GROTON: None - Their butlers do it for them.

-HOTCHKISS: 3 - one to screw in the lightbulb and two more to screw him
"Hotchkiss Style."

-LOOMIS: 2 - One to change the bulb and one to complain about how if they
were at a better school the lightbulb wouldn't go out.

-PROCTOR: 33 - Three-one to stare at the light bulb in a confused manor, one
to run and get his learning skills teacher, and the teacher to call
maintnence.

-CHOATE: 7 - One to change the light bulb and six to throw a party because
he didn't screw it in upside down this time.

-DEERFIELD: 4 - one to change it and three to pick out the perfect J. Crew
outfit for the occasion.

-TAFT: 6 - one varsity athlete to change it and five of his friends to help
him with his geometry homework.

-MILTON: 2 - One to screw it in perfectly, and another to kill himself when
he finds out that the first guy did it better than him.

-GOVERNOR DUMMER: 12 - six to hike to the nearest village to buy a new one,
six to figure out the directions, and one to plow the fields and feed the
oxen while the others are occupied.

-NOBLES: 301 - One to screw it in and three hundred to be really lame.

-LAWRENCEVILLE: They're still working on it.

-SALSBURY: Two - one to screw it in and one to buy an inflatable sheep so
they can party all night long.

-WORCESTOR ACADEMY: None -Wooster looks better in the dark.

-MIDDLESEX: 216 - One to steal a bulb from someone else, fifteen to start
rumors about who the thief was, and two hundred to have an unsupervised
party off-campus.

-ST. GEORGE'S: One - but he tries to do it like the guys at Middlesex

-ST. MARK'S: 7 - one to screw it in and six to talk about how chill it is.

-ST. SEBASTIAN'S: 10 - a female teacher to change it,eight students to look
up her skirt while she does it, and a priest so they can go confess their
sin the next Sunday.

-WILLISTON: 7 - One to screw it in and six to figure out how to power it on
manure.

-GUNNERY: None - Lava lamps don't burn out man!

-COMMONWEALTH: 14 - one to be head of the Red Mondays lightbulb crew, four
to skip their assigned jobs, two to beg their friends to switch days, two
replacements to fill in for those friends, one to unscrew the old lightbulb
and replace it, one to start a cult religion worshipping the new source of
light. And three to wash pots.

-STONY BROOK: 3, one to screw it in and 2 to curse it out for not being as
good as they want it to be

-FIELDSTON: 43 - one black, white, and latino kid for a pro-diversity
photo-op, an Ethics class to debate the morality of replacing it, and 20
kids to pass around a blunt in a hippie circle in the eco-friendly
lightbulb's honor.

-ST. ANDREWS: 3 - one student to screw it in, one Bio teacher to tell that
student off for not using an eco- friendly lightbulb, and one AP Bio student
to fetch one of those eco- friendly lightbulbs.

Yes, it is funny. But it is based on stereotypes alone. Not real information.
