Do Viola players change lightbulbs? I thought the electrician's union had serious issues with that.

Well, I found the light bulb joke, and it reminded me . . .

Two, but the trick is getting them into the bulb first.

Dorrie - from the web site that was linked into the thread a couple of posts back...(the blue thing that says "clickie")

How many violists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None. They're not small enough to fit.

I love viola jokes: The conductor of the orchestra is sick suddenly. It's announced the evening's performance will be cancelled. Up steps the first chair violist who claims he knows the music well enough to conduct the orchestra. They give him a chance, and he does brilliantly that night conducting his comrades. The next night the conductor is back and the first violist re-takes his seat in the orchestra. His stand-mate nudges him and says "Where were you last night.?"

Dorrie - One of the good things Douglas Adams taught the world was that the answer to questions like "What is the answer?" is 32. (Or was it 34? Or 43? Sorry for my lack of education.)

jayoho - not anything - EVERYWHERE!

The answer to Life, The Universe and Everything is 42 because in binary code 42 is 101010. 1 & 0 can also represent Yes and No. So:

The answer to life is: Yes and No The answer to The Universe is: Yes and No The answer to Everything is: Yes and No

But it's much quicker just to say 42.

Well that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
