That's a building problem, generally, hence not a tech problem. I get the vibe you're trying to go for the "How many electricians does it take to change a lightbulb?" joke.

I still think that the answer is three...

If the question is "how many actors does it take to screw in a light bulb" i would answer "just one, he stands and holds the bulb and the world revolves around him :D

the joke goes something like that.... I don't really remember it now... :?
