How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?
Fifty four. Eight to argue, one to get a continuance, one to object, one to demur, two to research precedents, one to dictate a letter, one to stipulate, five to turn in their time cards, one to depose, one to write interrogatories, two to settle, one to order a secretary to change the bulb, and twenty-eight to bill for professional services.
i always heard it as:
How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?
answer: How much money you got?
That’s 53.
You definitely deserve bonus points for pointing out the incorrect math. This joke has been here for years and no one else has ever commented on the total being wrong.
