| Q: | How many Realist-Surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? |
| A: | Three hippopotami one brings the pecan pie, one brings the fishnet with which to catch the pecan pie when the first hippo drops it after having been shot by the great white hunter, fallong on said hunter and crushing him beneath his dead weight. The third hippo arrives with the hacksaw, which he uses to cut off the hands of the hunter in order to manipulate the rifle and shoot the second hippo, grabbing the fishnet with the pie in question, and bringing it to the patriarchs of the Realist-Surrealist Movement in Arts and Literature, who stand at the base of the ladder. The patriarchs accept the pie in return for a low-wattage lightbulb and permission to ascend the ladder. The hippo lumbers up the ladder, using the hunter's hands a second time to screw in the lightbulb. Unfortunately, the ladder was not built to support the bulk of a hippopotamus. |
