<p>HOW MANY UC STUDENTS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB?</p>

<p>UCLA: Two. 1 to change the bulb, and another to call their friends at USC and tell them how they changed it just as well and for much cheaper.</p>

<p>CAL: Three. 1 to change the bulb and two to debate about the metaphysical state of the bulb and how its invention has impacted human development.</p>

<p>UCSD: Five. 1 to hold the bulb and 4 to start smoking weed until the room spins.</p>

<p>UCI: Eleven. 1 to change the bulb and ten to sit around watching because honestly, what else is there to do at Irvine past 10pm??</p>

<p>UCR: Three. 1 to steal the bulb, another to drive the getaway car, and the last to call all his friends to throw the celebration party on a Tuesday night.</p>

<p>UCSB: Seven. 1 to screw the bulb and 6 to screw each other.</p>

<p>UC Davis: Zero. There is no electricity in Davis.</p>

<p>UC Merced: Two. One to hold the bulb while the other calls his friend asking for help in figuring out this “new college thing.”</p>

<p>UCSC: None since they are living in the forest</p>

<p>No offense dude but I like the one from facebook much better.</p>

12

<p>Post it. Which one are you talking about?</p>

13

<p>The one I originally posted dude. Read the whole thread.</p>

14

<p>I already have, and thought you were talking about a different list. I think most of these lists fall short in significant ways.</p>

15

<p>I like this one:</p>

<p>How many Norcal students does it take to change a light bulb?</p>

<p>Hella.</p>

16

<p>Ha. It probably applies to high school more than college, as many Nor cal kids head south to So Cal, and many So Cal kids go north. But the joke's still pretty good. I (a Socal person) could imagine a Nor Cal kid saying in response</p>

<p>How many Socal kids does it take to change a light bulb?</p>

<p>Like.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, like has spread its evil being throughout the English I hear anywhere, even (to a lesser extent than in Socal) Norcal.</p>

17

<p>I didn't know "like" originated or is predominately used in Southern California. Guess I need to get out more often.</p>

18

<p>As far as I know, it is most closely connected to the Valley Girl of the San Fernando Valley, part of the greater LA area, in the late 80s and 90s. "Like" is very, very socal, and sadly, it has spread.</p>

19

<p>Hmm... I file a maintenance request if I need a light bulb to be changed.</p>
