how many exhausted Saras does it take to change a lightbulb?

I've managed to get good and sick...some kind of flu thing where my entire body hurts and my brain isn't working right. Sigh. I wish my immune system function and my stress level weren't so closely related.

So, since I can't actually form rational thoughts, here is a repost of something from my Skool for Deacons mailing list:

The other correct answer to "How many Episcopalians does it take to change a lightbulb?" is:

1 Celebrant to bless the new bulb.

3 Acolytes to sit around and make faces.

1 Organist to write a hymn to praise the new bulb.

1 church secretary to make up the special bulletin insert with the bulb-blessing ceremony.

15 Choir singers (minimum) to sing said hymn.

1 Junior Warden to remove old bulb and replace it with new bulb.

1 Assistant clergy to give eulogy on the old bulb.

100-200 member members to answer, "We Will" when the Celebrant asks: "Will you who witness this do all in your power to support this new light?"

5-10 people to form a new congregation using the old bulb.
