One of the few things I still remember from my Economics course in HELP Institute...
How many economists does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: Five. One to change it and four to hold everything else constant.
Some fun from an unknown source...
"How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb?
Charismatic: Only one. Hands already in the air.
Pentecostal: Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against spirit of darkness.
Presbyterians: None. Lights will go on and off at predestined times.
Roman Catholic: None. Candles only.
Baptists: At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.
Episcopalians: Three. One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to talk about how much better the old one was.
Mormons: Five. One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.
Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including: incandescent, fluorescent three way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.
Methodists: Undetermined. Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Church-wide lighting service is planned for Sunday. Bring bulb of your choice and a covered dish.
Nazarene: Six. One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.
Lutherans: None. Lutherans don't believe in change.
Amish: What's a light bulb?"

Is that true, in general?
:( you missed out my church!

the opener broke, part of it got stuck in the cork...
So one guy stood on the table, and pulled... while the rest of us held the bottle steady.
That was how the joke, "How many consultants does it take to open a bottle of wine?" started....
as for David's question .. it depends. But in general especially our western counterparts ... the answer is Yes! Have you heard of Garrison Keilor ... he's got loads of funny stories on the Lutherans in Lake wobegon.
Scientology: What light bulb? It's just a state of the mind and never exists in reality
In her Science and Health, Mary Eddy Baker wrote , "The opposite of Truth, called error, sin, sickness, disease, death, is the false testimony of false material sense, of mind in matter (SH, 108:24-26)."
