The fact the clan has been tied to Babylon & Carthage suggests use the
pheonetic associated with the middle eastern languages. Bur-jah would
seem appropriate. (Like Eli-jah)
All the Brit kindred I know pronounce it Bru-jah. The only American
kindred I met called 'em Bru-hah. A single example isn't conclusive,
tho, but given the number of stateside posters, I'm sure someone will
comment.
I have heard yuppy types call us Bru-yah, but they stopped.

The only joke i know with Brujah and lightbulbs is;
Q: How many Brujah does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One. If that is, you want the lightbulb changed into shards of glass.

To change a lightbulb, you can“t use only pink tools. You will also need

Abhorrently unfunny. I'm sorry my friend, but the jokes are
perhaps left to those of your clan who claim themselves as artists.
The lack of originality in these makes them little more than rote
mantra while lacking the characteristic class of the tried and true
lightbulb jokes such as how many Tzimisce does it take...? One, but you
don't want to know what he changes it into.
In the last, you can see the classic characteristics of a timeless
joke. The play on both the mindset of the Tzimisce and even on the
bizarre powers of their kind. And to properly make a Tremere lightbulb
joke, you simply place Tremere where Ventrue is in the second joke,
Manipulate where dominate resides, and Ventrue where brujah is. There
we have a fundamental truth yet maintaining the lightbulb twist.
The key to a comedic saying is the fundamental truth that MUST
remain in the passage. As with all things that we must classify as
literary, jokes included, one must have the fact and the timelessness
of the statement.
There is, however, some degree of merit in the jokes. If you would
take my advice and perhaps refine these I can see a potential in you
that is very promising.

Humor is a foreign language to some. Some say we beat it out of
them at an early age, but the simple truth is that when you Embrace a
socially-maladjusted cult leader or megalomanic solipsistic Mage into a

few hundred years to train them in Thumaturgy, you get some truly
steller displays of atrophied social skills.

And so we see why it is that the Clan Brujah are not running the
Camarilla. Perhaps we should have chosen a less vague name -- I for one
have my doubts about our founder's name being "Brujah" in any case. Then
again, we'd only find something else to fight over. The correct colour to
draw the clan symbol in, perhaps. <g>
