How many college bureaucrats does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Freshmen and sophomores, as well as juniors and seniors under the age of 20, are not allowed to have lightbulbs. If a student who is not eligible to possess a lightbulb feels that one is absolutely necessary, he or she may file an appeal with Housing Services before a week ago yesterday. Students who are not yet 20 years old before the beginning of the fall semester, but turn 20 before the beginning of the winter semester, may file a change-of-status form at Housing Services within five hours of their birthday.

AH, but you see, I do not subscribe to the chicken little school of home safety.
Risk management is something I exercise. One does not need two people to do the job if one sets the ladder up correctly, and one repositions it as work progresses.
Falling off of ladders is usually the consequence of incorrect positioning or reaching for an area you should have repositioned the ladder for in the first place.

How many Doc's does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. I ignite my own farts to light the way. :w00t:
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
