Changing Light Bulbs

Today my favorite newspaper arrived in the mail the San Juan Record. This is a birthday gift from my parents as they know how much I look forward to reading it each week. When it arrives I silently thank them for the paper and then turn immediately to "Life in a Nutshell", by Terri Winder. She has to be my favorite writer in the paper. She is so down to earth and just tells things like they are. Well today she included a tidbit of laughter and I wanted to share it with you.

"Because we're Mormans, we quite often receive help from the organizations. Each organization has their own way of doing things.

HOW MANY MORMANS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?
IT ALL DEPENDS!
THE RELIEF SOCIETY TAKES FIVE: one to make the cookies, one to fix punch, one to bring the tablecloth, one to design the center piece and one to screw in the light bulb.
IF IT IS THE BISHOPRIC, forget it, they don't do light bulbs. The delegate it to the ELDERS
THE ELDERS TAKES FOUR: three who don't show up, and one to change the bulb.
THE HIGH PRIESTS TAKES SIX: two to push the wheel chairs, one to handle the oxygen tank, and one to screw in the light bulb.
HOME TEACHERS TAKES TWO, but you have to wait until the end of the month.
THE AARONIC PRIESTHOOD ONLY TAKES ONE. He holds the light bulb in the socket and the whole word revolves around him."
