How many askees does it take to screw in a lightbulb? What askees typically get stuck with the job of changing lightbulbs?
Responses:
Ash
Two. One to screw in the lightbulb, and another to correct his spelling.
The Ghost of Douglas Adams
15. 3 to mock the asker, 5 to get sidetracked in meaningless banter, 4 to keep Space Moose under control, and 3 to make nonsensical non-sequiturs. The lighbulb is, in the end, not replaced.
Bill Clinton
Two. One to keep Hillary occupied, and one to "screw in the lightbulb" if you get my meaning.

Dave, I've detected that the aft auxillary light bulb is about to fail. You really should go out and replace it.
David Bowman
No way.
The Web Palette
Four. One to replace the lightbulb, one to verify the new lightbulb works under IE4/5, one to verify it works under NS3/4, and one to verify that it works under Mozilla, Opera, iCab, NetPositive and other freaky browsers.

One Askee is required.

Light bulbs are obsolete in the 24th century. We now have jokes about replacing optical isolinear chips.
