Q How many women with MENOPAUSE does it take to
change a light bulb? 
Best Menopause Question Ever
Woman's Answer One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the ! light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CABINET for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them, 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would
5
STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT
WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE FREAKING LIGHT BULBS
CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER PICKS UP
OR CARRIES OUT  THE GARBAGE!!!!
6
IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE
PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT
THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO
CLEAN THIS PLACE! 
7
AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHO
CHANGES THE TOILET PAPER ROLL !! I'm sorry.
What was the question?
