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

ONE... to convene a committee...consisting of at least:

1 Grant Writer: To apply for a MAP/TIS(Museum Assessment
Program/Technical Information Service) Grant.
2 Computer consultants:  One to search the Web. One to query Museum-L.
1,500 Museum-l lurkers: To have an excuse to break their silence.
1 Graphic Designer: To make "TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER" sign.
2 Conservators: One to remove bulb without getting fingerprints all over
the place, and one to try to figure out where the silica gel goes.
1 Evaluator.To count how many times the light was used before and after
the burnout, showing that it doesn't really need to be fixed.
1 Exhibits Technician: To try to fix the bulb using duct tape.
1 Volunteer: To stand around.
1 Contractor: To be fired for being late and over budget.
1 Director:  To chair an AAM session.
