Hi, Roy
Q: How many HP3000 users does it take to change a lightbulb?

In here 7, one top holding light bulb standing on 2 person's shoulder and
the other 2 person standing on 2 other person's shoulder.(1+2+4 =7)
Name of team work, they exercising power games, But person on top
does not know which way to screw light bulb, clockwise or counterclockwise.
so test two direction to people on the bottom to clockwise and
counterclockwise
two people underneath keep changing direction from top clockwise and
counterclockwise, people underneath 2 person just got frustrated...
Top person have to take credit and got to be exercise his power of
insecurity of lack of knowledge.
Cheers
Peter C.
