The following bit of humor is courtesy of the Prescription Access Litigation project, which gets its jollies by suing drugmakers. And so you can guess where this little joke is headed….

How many pharmaceutical executives does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Just Seven:

1 - One to screw in the light bulb;

2 - One to file a patent for “A method for insertion of a light-emitting glass fixture into a power source by rotational motion”;

3 - One to create an ad encouraging consumers to “Ask your electrician if SuperBright XR is right for you”;

4 - One to sue the manufacturers of cheaper, longer-lasting, but equally bright, compact fluorescent light bulbs;

5 - One to launch an awareness campaign for Chronic Darkness Syndrome;

6 - One to testify before Congress against government negotiation on the price of light bulbs;

7 - One to lobby against the importation of cheaper Canadian light bulbs.
