>
>At VANDERBILT: it takes two, one to change the bulb and one more to
>explain how they did it every bit as good as the bulbs changed at
>Harvard.
>At GEORGIA: it takes two, one to change the bulb and one to phone an
>engineer at Georgia Tech for instructions.
>At FLORIDA: it takes four, one to screw in the bulb and three to figure
>out how to get stoned off the old one.
>At ALABAMA: it takes five, one to change it, three to reminisce about
>how The Bear would have done it, and one to throw the old bulb at an
>NCAA investigator.
At OLE MISS: it takes six, one to change it, two to mix the drinks and
>three to find the perfect J. Crew outfit to wear for the occasion.
>At LSU: it takes seven, and each one gets credit for five semester hours.
>At KENTUCKY: it takes eight, one to screw it in and seven to discuss how
>much brighter it seems to shine during basketball season.
>At TENNESSEE: it takes ten, two to figure out how to screw it in, two to
>buy an orange lampshade, and six to phone a radio call-in show and talk

>buy the Skoal, and twelve to yell, "GO TO HELL, OLE MISS".

>discuss how this finally will be the year that they have a decent
>football team.
