Thought I might start the all-too-predictable bulb thread. ;)

Came up with this one on my own so I don't know anyone else has come up with the same thing.

How many aikidoka does it take to change a light bulb?

None, they'll keep waiting for the lightbulb to do something.

The problem with your joke Brian is that your answer is too good. No one can come up with a better one. :)

Bunker dug? Sandbags ready? Good. Y'all have your tomatoes ready to fire? Excellent.

How many Aikidoka does it take to change a light bulb?

Aikidoka don't change lightbulbs. We lead the old bulbs out of the socket and the new bulb into it, in the spirit of harmony.

How many aikido sensei does it take to screw in a lightbulb. 1 but he doesn't screw it in, he just holds it in place and lets the world revolve around him.

You'd need to know the light bulbs lineage before it can be changed

alternatively

it's not the lightbulb that doesn't work, it's your lightbulb that doesn't work, there's no need to change the true lightbulb

or

lightbulbs aren't true budo

[Mark Freeman]

Lightbulbs will never work in the real world.

Lightbulbs will never work in the real world.

And someone to come along and say that lightbulbs are just for show, and that they don't work and say to study Brazilian flash-lights

[Niamh Marie O'Leary-Liu]

Maybe it is not the lightbulb that needs to be changed but your assumptions, Grasshopper.

Use your ki to light it.
