Jokes, like art or music, are very subjective. One man’s rib tickler is another’s “Huh?”. I think I can normally guage what will get a universal belly laugh and what will hang in the air with just the crickets chirruping in the background, but it is difficult to extract really big reactions from lightbulb jokes. This is mainly because the format is so familiar that the only surprise is what you have to say about the changers themselves.
Today’s offering, however, does have a rather neat ending which makes it stand out. Clever play on the word “twist”.
Q: How many mystery writers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Two. One to screw it almost all the way in, and the other to give it a surprising twist at the end.
