How many Michel Foucaults does it take to change a lightbulb?

None.  Under modern regimes of governmentality the lightbulb is simply an effect of state power which, acting through disciplinary institutions that surveil, sort and evaluate lightbulbs, is internalized into the subjectivity of the lightbulb inducing it to change itself.


How many light bulbs does it take to change a bureaucrat?


Thank you for your inquiry.  However, your question has to be answered in the joke priority it was received.  As well, until we receive a joke business case, we can't properly assess your joke for applicability to the joke library.  After your business case is approved, we can then proceed to the joke project charter process, begin to plan the length of your joke answer, the resources required to answer the joke and the overall scope of the joke so we can effectively provide the framework of the answer.  We take your joke seriously, but we have to follow the joke methodology in order for the joke answer to be completed in an organized, managed manner.  I trust this helps you with your question.


How many Peace Corps volunteers does it take to change a lightbulb?


Peace Corps volunteers don't change anything. 


Not a lightbulb joke:


An optimist sees the glass and says it's half full. A pessimist sees the glass and says it's half empty. A Peace Corps Volunteer sees the glass and says "Hey, I can take a bath in that!"
