Unless your dream is to be a
child actor,
in which case, yes, it
absolutely is
too late.

How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?
Such number as may be deemed to perform the stated task in a timely and efficient manner within the strictures of the following agreement: Whereas the party of the first part, also known as “Lawyer,” and the party of the second part, also known as “Light Bulb,” do hereby and forthwith agree to a transaction wherein the party of the second part (Light Bulb) shall be removed from the current position as a result of failure to perform previously agreed-upon duties, i.e., the illumination of the area ranging from the front (north) door, through the entryway, terminating at an area just inside the primary living area, demarcated by the beginning of the carpet, any spillover illumination being at the option of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) and not required by the aforementioned agreement between the parties. The aforementioned removal transaction shall include, but not be limited to, the following steps: 1.) The party of the first part (Lawyer) shall, with or without elevation, at his option, by means of a chair, stepstool, ladder, or any other means of elevation, grasp the party of the second part (Light Bulb) and rotate the party of the second part (Light Bulb) in a counterclockwise direction, said direction being non- negotiable. Said grasping and rotation of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) shall be undertaken by the party of the first part (Lawyer) with every reasonable caution by the party of the first part (Lawyer) to maintain the structural integrity of the party of the second part (Light Bulb), notwithstanding the aforementioned failure of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) to perform the aforementioned customary and agreed-upon duties. The foregoing notwithstanding, however, both parties stipulate that structural failure of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) may be incidental to the aforementioned failure to perform, and in such case the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall be held blameless for such structural failure insofar as this agreement is concerned so long as the non-negotiable directional codicil (counterclockwise) is observed by the party of the first part (Lawyer) throughout. 2.) Upon reaching a point where the party of the second part (Light Bulb) becomes separated from the party of the third part (“Receptacle”), the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall have the option of disposing of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) in a manner consistent with all applicable state, local, and federal statutes. 3.) Once separation and disposal have been achieved, the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall have the option of beginning installation of the party of the fourth part (“New Light Bulb”). This installation shall occur in a manner consistent with the reverse of the procedures described in Step 1 of this document, being careful to note that the rotation should occur in a clockwise direction, said direction also being non-negotiable. NOTE: The above-described steps may be performed, at the option of the party of the first part (Lawyer), by said party of the first part (Lawyer), by his heirs and assigns, or by any and all persons authorized by him to do so, the objective being to produce a level of illumination in the immediate vicinity of the aforementioned front (north) door consistent with maximization of commerce and revenue for the party of the fifth part, also known as “The Firm.”

Monday Mind Game - The Locked Room
The store room of your house is locked with a certain lock that can be closed without a key but requires a key to open (which you own, and there is no duplicate key).
You decide to move your old stuff in the storeroom. After keeping the things carefully, you lock it back up again perfectly.
The next day, a dead body is found in your closed store room. Since only you have the key to the store room and you live alone, the police suspect you as the murderer.
You can’t understand what happened until a thought occurs to you. There is a possible way using which the dead body could have been placed by someone else.
Can you find that way so you can tell the police and prove yourself to be innocent?
Give up?

When you were inside the shed, the murderer replaced the lock with his own one that was identical to your original lock. When you locked the store room, you didn't require a key and there was nothing abnormal for you. When you left, the murderer opened the lock with his key, planted the dead body inside, and replaced the lock again putting the original lock in its place. He then closed it without any problem.

The Centipede
A man buys a centipede from a pet
store. He takes it home and sets it up in its aquarium, and lets it get settled
in for a while. After a few hours the guy gets bored and goes up to the
centipede and asks, "hey, centipede, you wanna go out and get a drink,
check out the ladies? You know, just hang out?" But the centipede doesn't
say anything. The guy thinks, "Hmmm, it must be getting used to its new
environment or whatever," and he goes to bed.
The next day after work, the guy's
watching TV and he gets bored, so he goes up to the centipede again and taps on
the aquarium glass, and says "Hey, centipede, you wanna go out, get a
drink, maybe check out the ladies? Just hang out or whatever?" and the
centipede doesn't say anything. The guys thinks, "That's weird, I wonder
if it's sick or something. I’m not sure how centipedes are supposed to act, I
guess." He shrugs it off and goes to bed.
The third day, after work, the guy
gets bored watching TV and goes to the centipede again, this time getting a
little exasperated. "HEY! CENTIPEDE! Do you wanna go out and get a DRINK,
check out the LADIES or something?" and the centipede yells back, "I
heard you the first time, man! I'm getting my shoes on!"
