I’ve seen so many ‘light bulb’ jokes about every nationality and profession. So I decided to invent the Jordanian version of it.. 
Q: How many Jordanians does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One trader to import it from Europe. One Customs official to charge import duties and stamps on it. One inspector to make sure it conforms to Jordanian Standard No. 32/1969. One security official to make sure it doesn’t interfere with police and army radio frequencies. One protester who calls for boycotting Western-imported light bulbs. One pickup truck driver to deliver it. One asian house-maid to receive the delivery. And, finally, one Egyptian guest worker to screw into the socket. Then, once the light is on: one electrical engineer to inspect the installation and one journalist to complain in a newspaper column about how it doesn’t give enough light!

This is so sad but true.
Absolutely brilliant

Unfortunately it’s true!
A better answer would be:
Q: How many Jordanians does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Change?!
loool what’s brilliant about this joke, at least to the people who know you personally, is that it’s very reflective of your thinking process…every time you speak of a situation it’s like watching the process of falling dominoes!
And one blogger to blog about the incident
Plus there’s the Jordanian that will call Al Wakeel’s show (or Amen FM or Al Balad, etc.) to complain about defect light bulbs flooding the market!
pristine. its safe to say this is the first blog post ive actually laughed at in my life.
nice one
