I’m alive. I love the master program I’m taking now as much as I enjoy this joke. I really have to share:

  • Q: How many editors does it take to screw in a light bulb:
  • A: Only one. But first they have to rewire the entire building.
  • Q: How many copy editors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
  • A: I can’t tell whether you mean ‘change a light bulb’ or ‘have sex in a light bulb.’ Can we reword it to remove the ambiguity?
  • Q: How many managing editors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
  • A: You were supposed to have changed that light bulb last week!
  • Q: How many art directors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
  • A: Does it HAVE to be a light bulb?
  • Q: How many copy editors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
  • A: The last time this question was asked, it involved art directors. Is the difference intentional? Should one or the other instance be changed? It seems inconsistent.
  • Q: How many marketing directors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
  • A: It isn’t too late to make this neon instead, is it?
  • Q: How many proofreaders does it take to screw in a light bulb?
  • A: Proofreaders aren’t supposed to change light bulbs. They should just query them.
  • Q: How many writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
  • A: But why do we have to CHANGE it?

    Hey Enol & Rufi~
    Haven’t seen you both here for a while! Maybe it’s me who’s been lazy on blogging…
    Yah I think working in a publishing house seems so much fun!
