Q: How many people in TNG does it take to screw a lightbulb?
A: Nine.
.
A light blub in the bridge dies.
.
Riker : GEORDI--WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
Picard: Someone remove the lightbulb.  Conference!
.
In the Conference room.
.
Troi  : (putting her hand on the dead bulb) I feel... pain.
Worf  : The bulb is useless now, Captain.  Let me dispose of it.
        (unholsters phaser and adjusts it to "OBLITERATE" setting)
Data  : (thinking about what Worf said) Captain, if I were to
        become non-functional like this bulb, would I receive
        a regular burial or would I be disposed of like...
Picard: Shut up, Data.  Hold your fire, Mr. Worf.  Where is Mr.
        LaForge?
Geordi: (stepping into the room) Here, Captain.  I'm afraid we're
        out of light bulbs.  Who needs light anyway?  With my VISOR,
        I can clearly see despite the absence of visible light.
Bev   : I can surgically remove everyone's eyes and outfit us all
        with VISORs...
Wes   : No way, Mom.  Wait!  I got it!  I'll build us a positronic
        krigga-wave-condensing incandescent light generator!
Riker : Excellent, Wes.  BTW, WHAT THE HELL are you doing in this
        meeting?  This is for senior officers only!  Worf, put
        Ensign Crusher in the brig!
Worf  : (To Wes, grinning) You will walk or I will carry you!
Bev   : You're not touching my son!
.
Everyone lurches.  Outside, two Borg ships begin attacking the
Enterprise.  Everyone rushes to the bridge.  Q suddenly appears on
the bridge.
.
Picard: Q!  End this!
Q     : Temper temper, mon capitan.  Can't you humans take a joke?
        (snaps fingers--Borg ships disappear)
Picard: I didn't mean the Borg ships--I meant the light bulb!
Q     : Oh.  Sorry (snaps fingers again--bulb is restored).  Until
        next time!  (flash of light--Q disappears)
Picard: (hands restored bulb to Wes) prepare to screw light bulb.
Wes   : Aye, Captain (holds bulb in position over bulb socket)
Picard: Engage!
