it was politically correct.
Q: How many

Rites for the old lightbulb, ten volunteer firemen to break into the house and
smash the old light bulb to bits, fifty to protest the abortion of the old lightbulb,
ten to organize a lawn fete and spaghetti dinner at Our Most Holy Precious Blood
of the Seventeen Martyred Saints R.C. Church to raise funds to buy a new light
bulb (and the Monsignor a new pair of bowling shoes as a gift on St. Stanislaus
Day), twenty from Chiavettas Catering to serve the food, twenty to run the Monte

to buy the light bulb, one to screw it in, five to say the Rosary as the bulb
is being screwed in, and the Monsignor to bless it.
