As a Virginian, we tell West Virginian and Kentuckian jokes. How many west virginians to change a lightbulb?

!Whole family, one to hold the bulb, the rest to turn the shack!<

How many Kentuckian does it does tocl change a lightbulb?

! I'm not sure, you'd have to convince them it isn't magic first!<

Raised in Maryland, same kinds of jokes we tell about West Virginia, lmao.

A West Virginian boy got mad at a Marylander, so he threw a stick of dynamite at the Maryland boy. The Marylander picked it up, lit it, and threw it back.

Ha! Nice! Take that, Wear Virginia! Lmao

We had others, but most of them revolve around how, ahem, close their families are. Lol

FYI, spoilers don't work like Reddit (or at least not on my web client.) Try doing it the way Limfjorden did:

AnswerThree; one to hold the lightbulb and two to carry them while going in circles.

The ones using colons don't work on my client, but the built in ones using the > and ! do. I'm on eternity

Strange. I think colons are the official way (as I'm just on default web lemm.ee,) so that might be something to contact your client's devs with.
