Inspired by this thread, I dug this gem out of my files. And I represent two of these schools (represented by the blue text)!

-----

HOW MANY STUDENTS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB AT.......

Northwestern: Two--one to change the lightbulb and one to hold up the portable heater.

Vanderbilt: Two--one to call the electrician and one to call daddy to pay the bill.

Princeton: Two--one to mix the martinis and one to call the electrician.

Brown: Eleven--one to change the lightbulb and ten to share the experience.

Dartmouth: None--Hanover doesn't have electricity.

Cornell: Two--One to change the lightbulb and one to crack under the pressure.

Penn: Only one, but he gets six credits for it.

Columbia: Seventy-six-- one to change the lightbulb, fifty to protest the lightbulb's right to not change, and twenty-five to hold a counter-protest.

Yale: None--New Haven looks better in the dark.

Harvard: One--he holds the bulb and the world revolves around him.

MIT: Five--one to design a nuclear powered one that never needs changing, one to figure out how to power the rest of Boston using that nuked lightbulb, two to install it, and one to write the computer program that controls the wall switch.

Vassar: Eleven--one to screw it and ten to support its sexual orientation.

Middlebury: Five--One to change the lightbulb and four to find the perfect J. Crew outfit to wear for the occasion.

Stanford: One, dude.

Oberlin: Three--one to change it and two to figure out how to get high off the old one.

Georgetown: Four--one to change it, one to call Congress about their progress, and two to throw the old bulb at the American U. students.

Duke: A whole frat--but only one of them is sober enough to get the bulb out of the socket.

Williams: The whole student body--when you're snowed in, there's nothing else to do.

Tufts: Two--one to change the bulb and the other to say loudly how he did it as well as an Ivy League student.

Sarah Lawrence: Five--one to change the bulb and four to do an interpretive dance about it.

Swarthmore: Eight--it's not that one isn't smart enough to do it, it's just that they're all violently twitching from too much stress.

Boston University: Four--one to change the bulb and two to check his math homework.

Amherst: Thirteen--one to change the bulb and an a capella group to immortalize the event in song.

Wesleyan: Wesleyan's boycotting GE... you know, military-industrial complex and all that.

Connecticut College: Two--one to change the bulb and one to complain about how if they were at a better school the lightbulb wouldn't go out.

Virginia: Thirteen--Ten to form a student committee to vote on whether changing light bulbs is a violation of the Honor Code, one to change the bulb, one to hold the keg the he's standing on, and another to attribute electricity to Mr. Jefferson.

Bowdoin: Three--one to ski down to the general store and buy the bulb, one to take the chairlift back to school, and one to screw it in.

Boston College: Seven--one to change the light bulb and six to throw a party because he didn't screw it in upside down this time.

Santa Clara University: One--but you would never know about it because only Cal and Stanford gets press for changing their lightbulbs.
