    Q: How many RIAA lawyers does it take to screw in a light blub?

    A: We at the RIAA think we will never really know, as we are fairly sure that each lightbulb changed by a home internet user represents a lost lightbulb installation fee, which in turn affects the not just the RIAA lawyers but the Lighting Technicians and Carpenters and all the little people involved in music production to such an extent that we now have to over-task our lawyers to combat the menace of the Open Standard Lightbulb Organizations. Th pressure generated by these OSLOs, in turn, prevents us from determining the natural lawyer to lightbulb ratio. Until Congress acts to plug this fee-structure leakage with an appropriate rights management technology and enacts proper criminal penalties for circumvention of our natural right to control the exercise of the lightbulb changing task, we will be forced to file John Doe lawsuits in order to gain the suppoena power necessary to compel the lightbulb supply corporations with the names and addresses of their clearly infringing customers.

      "...which in turn affects the not just the RIAA lawyers but the Lighting Technicians and Carpenters and all the little people involved in music production..."

      Hello. I am a lighting technician. I have been gainfully(?!) employed in the lighting/music business for almost twenty years now.

      I have consorted with all manner of vile creatures, both sexually and socially. I am known by name at the local STD clinic.

      I have an extensive criminal record, and I have been ordered by the courts to stay away from all schools, hospitals, and churches. ...and small children. ...and farm animals.

      Carnival employees shun my company with both fear and loathing. I was once forbidden to hitchhike a ride in the back of a garbage truck because I was too unclean. If I had a soul it would be interred in Yucca mountain upon my demise.

      Having said all that, I must add that my legal counsel has advised me that you have uttered an actionable slur upon my character by including myself and my peers with the RIAA. Never have I been so unjustifiably libeled.

The priest accepted, and they were off down the road again. A little while later, the trucker saw a lawyer hitchiking by the side of the road too. Well, the trucker did the only thing he thought right, he pulled the truck over to the side of the road thinking to run down the lawyer, but at the last minute he remebered that there was a priest sitting next to him, and swerved to miss the lawyer. As he passed, he heard a loud bump. OH NO! he thought I killed a lawyer with a priest sitting next to me. I'm going to go to hell.
