This post comes as a surprise even to myself. Years ago and I do mean many years, there a was a fad for little bulb changing jokes. I first heard those in Toronto under the Newfie version and took it to be the original form. Whether or not it was matters little although one of my spin-offs came through knowledge of the locals ( and a couple were heard through the grapevine ). But in all truth, it is not important. The Newfie ( a Newfoundland native or resident ) is deemed to be the dumbest around so that for East Coast US it might be rednecks and used to be pollocks as for Frenchmen it would be Belgians. Wherever you live, just substitute the regional idiot for Newfie and start from there 😉 .
Anyhow, yesterday, a buddy of mine asked me to tell the joke series to another friend and both asked me for a written version of the list for keepsake. I told them to look at my blog tomorrow for it and there we are. Besides, beyond any real intrinsic value of the individual jokes, the fact that they can be so declined shows that humor / humour is always at the expense of someone, no matter who really.
