erastesEllora's Cave's Blog has an amusing competition for the best "How many xxx's does it take to screw in a light bulb?" which should be writing related in some way: Go and read - they are all funny
These were mine:
Q: How many m/m authors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Only one, but there will be liberal amounts of lube, and three fingers inserted first to make sure it fits.
Q: How many agents does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Dear Author.
I'm sorry but your light bulb isn't suitable for this socket. We apologise for the lack of a personal response but as you can imagine we get so many light bulbs offered we are unable to screw them all in.
We wish you luck finding a socket elsewhere.
I look forward to reading yours!

They hold it and wait for the world to revolve around them.
Now am running away before anyone smacks me. :)

A: None. They are all at their day jobs. Find someone you'll need to pay a better advance to, to do it.

One, but it takes a while. Bulb must be coaxed out of the closet.
(Hey, whose neck do I wring? Now I'll be thinking up these stupid answers all day.)
