The Perfect Notre Dame Joke

As their spouses well know, whenever and wherever Notre Dame alumni gather together, they tell stories about their time as students at Notre Dame…over and over again. They recall shared experiences in the University’s residence halls, classrooms, and athletic arenas like the hallowed Notre Dame Stadium and the neighboring Joyce Athletic and Convocation Center.

Notre Dame alumni rarely tire of talking about the funniest college pranks, the best professors, the depth of the snow in South Bend, and the most exciting games and plays in Fighting Irish history that they ever personally saw (like Eric Penick racing 85 yards for a touchdown against USC one Saturday in October…a truly thrilling run that brought the Irish 85 yards closer to the 1973 national championship)…which is why the following may be the most concise, most insightful, and most perfect joke about Notre Dame alumni ever told:

Answer: One hundred. One to change the light bulb, and ninety-nine to reminisce about the old one.
