Two bone weary public servants were working their little hearts and souls out. Their department was just too busy for staff to be able take flex. But there had to be a way … One of the two public servants suddenly lifted his head. “I know how to get some time off work” the man whispered. “How?” asked the second worker. Instead of answering, the man quickly looked around. No sign of his Director. He jumped up on his desk, kicked out a couple of ceiling tiles and hoisted himself up. “Look!” he hissed, then swinging his legs over a metal pipe, hung upside down. Within seconds, the Director emerged from the Branch Head’s office at the far end of the floor. He saw the worker hanging from the ceiling, and asked him what on earth he thought he was doing. “I’m a light bulb” answered the public servant. “I think you need some time off,” barked the Director. “Get out of here – that’s an order – and I don’t want to see you back here for at least another two days! You understand me?” “Yes sir”, the public servant answered meekly, then jumped down, logged off his computer and left. The second worker was hot on his heels. “Where do you think you’re going?” the boss asked. “Home,” he said lightly. “I can’t work in the dark.”

Old. Only it was blondes and wax candles. I think Shakespear used it in Twelfth Night. "Forsooth Malvoleo, whenst go ye?" "Home and abed, sire, for Sir Toby hath taken mindful and retired" "But Why leave us so soon?" "for his light goeth alone and not into darkness will I travel" Fuck me rigid, this joke really is 500 years old!

Note to my English friend: The correct spelling is Shakespeare. BTW, I heard that back in his time, people read the writings and immediately complained that it was an old joke. :)
It was ever thus, the Neophiles will always rush out and get 'The Latest Thing' at a high price and with all the inherent faults - Dalek Dave.

Only these days - never once did old uncle Bill spell his name that way.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
