IT'S GREAT TO LIVE IN CALIFORNIA!


Being as the SCROOMtimes is an Internet rag, we have staff members from all over the world. But, the base of operations, the super-secret headquarters of the magazine (accessible to all staff members, of course, but the rest of you better stay away, this place is serious high-security) is here in sunny Silly-con valley. So, we know all too well how close to true this all is. But those of you who live elsewhere will find it pretty funny...

Q. Do you know how many Californians it takes to screw in a light bulb?
A. Californians don't screw in light bulbs, they screw in hot tubs.
