A joke I read on the Black Board I just HAD to share.

A TV executive walks into a bar and says, "Does it HAVE to be a bar?" Okay. Now you do better.

Nice one Pete.

How many screenwriters does it take to change a lightbulb? Why bother, the director will change it anyway! Or alternately "Change it? But I love it the way it is!!"

Well my joke was going to be: A screenwriter walks into a INT. BAR - DAY - CONTINUOUS

Jean-Pierre Chapoteau

How many screenwriters does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: Ten. 1st draft. Hero changes light bulb. 2nd draft. Villain changes light bulb. 3rd draft. Hero stops villain from changing light bulb. Villain falls to death. 4th draft. Lose the light bulb. 5th draft. Light bulb back in. Fluorescent instead of tungsten. 6th draft. Villain breaks bulb, uses it to kill hero's mentor. 7th draft. Fluorescent not working. Back to tungsten. 8th draft. Hero forces villain to eat light bulb. 9th draft. Hero laments loss of light bulb. Doesn't change it. 10th draft. Hero changes light bulb.

And the fact that there are ten different writers on the rewrites is even more insulting...
