The Day Trip

How many people does it take to change a lightbulb? If it’s a group of students, then it’s four. It takes a special expedition to select a shade which can only be done on a Saturday when they have no lectures. And let’s assume that they’ve all been out the night before so they need the morning to recover. Perhaps it’s a guilty outing to replace something that they’ve broken the night before. Meanwhile, one of them has planned for the day after and has decided to treat them to a Sunday roast. This requires purchasing a potato masher and no other equipment. It then requires one of them to carry this purchase home like a one-armed weapon. It doesn’t occur to any of them that this was an object that they could simply slide into their pockets; unless they were already full of vegetables. I’d hate to think where they stuck the carrots.
