Hail to the Redskins! Here's my attempt, lame or otherwise

How Many Romance Writers does it take to change a light bulb?

One, and she writes a great scene about it afterwards!

This is an interesting idea. The only thing I could come up with is:

How many romance writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Only one but it's never quick.

None. Who needs light when the dark is so much fun?

How many romance writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
none there are no lightbulbs in the deadline cave besides they are far too busy(promoting books, signing, coming up with new ideas, deadlines etc) that they have someone else do it, but they can give great written instructions

This isn't a light bulb joke, but I thought it was pretty good, anyway...

A writer died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell.

She decided to check out each place first. As the writer descended into the fiery pits, she saw row upon row of writers chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes.

"Oh my," said the writer. "Let me see heaven now."

A few moments later, as she ascended into heaven, she saw rows of writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they, too, were whipped with thorny lashes.

"Wait a minute," said the writer. "This is just as bad as hell!"

"Oh no, it's not," replied an unseen voice. "Here, your work gets published."

I think it only takes one good author to screw in a light bulb because they are so smart and can always make that one last twist in the end! Also they need all the light they can get to write.

Keep 'em coming, and don't be shy about sharing your favorite jokes.

One that gets me every time is the "Pete and Repeat were in a boat, Pete jumped out and who was left?" ...you get the drift. It became one of my favorites on the show Monk, when a little girl was tormenting Monk on a plane and he had to keep answering until he was ready to cry, LOL.

I'm trying to think of how to come at a light bulb joke that hinges on the impossible number of multiple orgasms we often grace upon our heroines... or something about longterm commitment, HEA, but I'm still working... seems like "Black Moment" should fit in here somewhere...

(lame, but I couldn't resist!)

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Reev Ill.

Reev Ill who?

Your evil twin in high heels who kidnapped the Greek virgin mistress' secret baby for the post-apocalyptic cowboy's dusky desires since the scoundrel was tempted to kiss the courtesan envious of the vampire shapeshifter, not to mention the ubiquitous cover dog. That's who.

I'm busy with a lightbulb. Come back another day.

Here's my take on the light bulb.

How many writer's does it take to screw in a light bulb.
Only one!

But first she must set the perfect mood with candles, roses and the perfect lingerie.
Two-she must tell the bulb that he is a more perfect, rounder fuller bulb than she has ever seen.
three-she must titilate, sintilate and stimulate the bulbs deepest desires
four-she must please the bulb and make him feel the perfect alpha Male!
five-then and only then can she screw in the lightbulb
and a minute later she will call all her writer friends while the bulbs naps after his ten second performance, and expand on his capabilities in the bedroom ehaulting him to superwatt status.
The next day she decides to write in the dark, easier and less effort!
happy writing ladies

i say 3 one who does all the work and the other two that just watches.

How many romance writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

8......one to actually screw the light bulb in and seven to critique the work.

These have been great! I'm not the best at these things, but I had to share my first thought--..how many romance writers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Answer: One male, one female..as long as they are small enough to fit inside.

I know, I know...
but I write erotic romance what can I say...;)

This is very funny. Totally off the subject (or nearly) google the Dante's Inferno Test. It's fun, though I clearly need to evolve (great affinity with 8th and 9th levels of hell).

This was tough, so I am going to weenie out and pick two, LOL

JODY LYNN, because yours was very fun in terms of romance writers, and I think that's the core of the light-bulb joke, to kid about the profession (though really, our heroes last more than 10 seconds right? LOL)

and PAMANDA, for sheer pun-acity. I have to admit, I grin every time I think about the two people inside the lightbulb... LOL Talk about electrifying...

Have a great weekend, everyone -- ladies, email me with your addy and I'll send out your gifties next week. :)
