How many Seaworld Orlando Employees does it take to change a light bulb?
Let's Count!
*Does her best Sesame Street Count Impression*

1 Parks Ops person to notice the light is out and report it.
5 More Park Ops employees to notice the light being out, complain about it but not bother to report it.
3 Park Maintenance people to also report that said light is out and they then complain that don't know how to remove the fixture cover.
4 Area Supervisors of Park Ops to see other four said reports on their desks, loose three of them then forget to look themselves and thus not passing on the paperwork.
1 Animal Care person to point out the missing light might be detrimental to the animals.
9 Animal Welfare Specialists to begin looking into the fact animals need light even though said light is not located near animal enclosures.
3 More Park Ops people to point out to everyone in Animal Welfare that said light is not near animal enclosures.
--Same Park Ops person who reported the light out who is now annoyed at the bullshit, to walk down to Maintenance, Get a Light Bulb, walk back to their area, remove fixture cover because they have to clean them at least twice a year because Maintenance forgets that's their job and then replace the light bulb in a grand total of 25 minutes including walk.
14 Various Supervisors to then to take credit for changing said light bulb themselves three weeks later when they notice it's been changed.. to anyone who will listen.
And finally...
3 Area Leads to point out the Supervisors couldn't get out of a wet paper bag much less change something as technical as a light bulb.

43! 43 Seaworld Orlando Employees to change a light bulb!

:p:

Wait a minute... Where's the union rep that went up in arms at Park Ops for taking the work away from the Electrician?


Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.

Mine's a little different (and probably a lot older)

How many CMs does it take to change a lightbulb?
1 WDI Engineer to redesign the entire area around the burnt out bulb to "make it look that way."

:p:


RIP Bud Hurlbut.

You will be missed.

First cast joke I was told after being hired:

Q: How many straight cast members does it take to change a light bulb on Main Street?

A: Both of us.

I have noticed that Tinkerbelle has rather a lot of competition for Peter's attention. ;)

If you are talking about FTers on main street, that is still pretty true sadly...

Ummm, sounds more like Eisner's idea of "plussing" rather than Walt's (who probably would have added more bulbs with a sound chip for good measure).
