That has got to be the funniest joke I've heard in the last twenty minutes.

Oh wait, nope.

How many members of a certain demographic group does it take to perform a specified task? A finite number: one to perform the task, and an additional number to act in a manner stereotypical of the group to which they belong.

I heard this on Family Guy: "How may monkeys does it take to screw in a light bulb? 3. 1 monkey to screw in the light bulb and 2 monkeys to throw feces at each other! <insert Peter laugh here>"
Signature depreciated.

How many Hebrew prophets does it take to bake a loaf of bread? Oh, forget it...

It's better in context and stated correctly. It had something to do with Peter saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. The scene is he's caught in a net with some Planets of the Apes apes surrounding him pointing guns at him. Then he says, "How many dirty, stinkin apes does it take to screw in a light bulb? Three. One dirty, stinkin ape to screw in the light bulb, and two dirty, stinkin apes to throw feces at each other!" The the apes cock their guns.

I liked the money faeces joke but I hate Family Guy. Too many stupid cut-aways.

Oh, and why do men die before their wives? They want to.

It's my favourite at the moment.

There's more stuff like that here:

Meta-joke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Like this one:

An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What is this—some kind of joke?"

That sounds like what the English would imagine a popular German joke to be.

Yes, now that you mention it, the joke is even funnier if you imagine it being said by Rainier Wolfcastle—or better, McBain. At the end of the joke he adds: "LAAAUGH!"

so:
A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer. The tech asked her if she was "running it under Windows." The woman then responded, "No, my desk is next to the door. But that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his is working fine."

and

"Tech Support: "All right...now double-click on the File Manager icon." Customer: "That's why I hate this Windows -- because of the icons -- I'm a Protestant, and I don't believe in icons." Tech Support: "Well, that's just an industry term sir. I don't believe it was meant to -- "Customer: "I don't care about any 'Industry Terms'. I don't believe in icons." Tech Support: "Well...why don't you click on the 'little picture' of a file cabinet...is 'little picture' ok?" Customer: [click]"
