Question: How many UUs does it
take to change a light bulb?
Answers:
- None, we accept the
light bulb the way it is.
- None, we appoint a
committee to raise funds to pay the electric bill.
- None, UUs think the
light bulb should change by itself.
- Three: One to
change the bulb. The other two make sure the
power doesn't go to her head.
- None, UUs aren't
afraid of the dark!

- Nine. Three to
form the committee "For" change; three
to form the committee "Against" change; two
to abstain; and one secretary to record the
meetings of both groups.
- It's about 5 or 6,
isn't it? Whatever is a quorum for the church board
meeting. Well, plus, of course a couple members of the
Building & Grounds Committee to actually get the
ladder & bulb and DO it... and of course the chair
and vice- chair of the committee to supervise... oh,
they can't come Saturday? Well, how about Sunday just
before the service... oh, the choir's rehearsing? Oh,
God! No, I'm not praying! It's just an expression!
What do you mean, I use too many careless
expressions!? If I gave the kind of wacky pulpit
editorials you do... no I am NOT appointing myself
Censor of the Liturgy... Liturgy?? What's a
liturgy?.....

How many UUs does it take to
change in a light bulb?
Answer:
Three - one to
write a solemn statement which will affirm the following:
- This light
bulb is natural, a part of the universe, and evolved
over many years by small steps.
- There must be
no discrimination against dark bulbs in any form, and
means must be found for all "dark" bulbs to
take their place alongside light bulbs on a basis of
equality.
- We affirm the
right of all bulbs to screw into the sockets of their
choice regardless of the bulb's illumination
preference.
- UUs seek for
each light bulb the fullest opportunity to develop
itself to its full electrical potential.
A second UU who
will read this statement, even if s/he is the only human
being to do so. The reader will then write the obligatory
criticism and dissent |
