How many UW students does it take to change a light bulb?

By Ali Karbassi | October 25th, 2005 | Random

At Madison it takes two. One to change the bulb and one more to brag about how they did it every bit as well as any Ivy League school.

At Oshkosh to takes two thousand. One to change the bulb, and the other one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine to riot and set it on fire.

At Stout it takes ten. One to change the bulb, and the other nine to sit around and watch because it is the big entertainment of the evening.

At Whitewater it take six, because that is how may people actually stay in the dorms on the weekend instead of going home.

At Stevens Point it takes zero. They are all too drunk from the night before to care whether or not the lights are on.

At Milwaukee it takes four. One to change the bulb, one to steal the new bulb from the store, one to act as a lookout, and one to drive the getaway car.

At Eau Claire it does not have to be changed because all the parties are over before the lights need to go on so no one ever sees light from them anyway.

At Green Bay it takes twelve. Two to figure out how to screw it in and ten to find an ugly enough lamp shade to match their school colors.

At River Falls it takes zero. There is no electricity in River Falls, only cows and corn (or Lakeland for that matter).

At Superior it takes five. Four to strap on snow shoes and hike ten miles to the nearest store to get the new bulb and one to screw it in.

At Platteville it takes twenty. One to change the bulb and the other nineteen to find a new way to engineer it so it never has to be changed again.

At LaCrosse it takes three. One to screw it in and the other two to giggle because he said the word “Screw.”

  1. Actually, at Platteville, it takes ninteen engineers from each branch of the engineering program, and they all need to get together and argue about whose way works better and would be the cheapest. The whole thing is solved by two computer science students - the one who initally screwed in the bulb, and the other to tell the engineers how fucking retarded they are.

  2. Then those two Computer Science students will argue against each other about who’s version of the code has the least amount of lines, more efficient, and can be run on what systems.

  3. Don’t forget the impending discussion on which programming language is best suited to write the code in. That’s always a good one.
