The Canadian Universities Lightbulb Joke

For some reason, back in high school I used to get this email as a forward practically every week from some random person on my MSN, AIM or ICQ list who I probably only talked to once in my entire life. It's still quite funny after all these years, and it shocks me that practically no one I know has heard of it, given how often it was passed around back when I was in OAC. Anyway, without further ado...

Haha...

I can't believe so many people haven't heard of that joke. I randomly get forwards of a similar kind too, except instead of American universities/colleges changing lightbulbs, it's Australian (NSW) highschools.
