Notes on the Cannonical Collection of Light Bulb Jokes:

The WASPs in the following jokes are 'white Anglo-Saxon Protestants' and are
assumed to represent any upper-middle class, loose lifestyle people. In
Seattle, these are 'Mercer Islander' jokes. In California, they are 'Marin
County' residents/housewives.

This file has not been sorted for a few months, and therefore may contain
duplications.
