  • How many? (meant to be humorous)

    Stolen from another forum....

    How may forum members does it take to change a light bulb?

    1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

    14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

    7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

    1 to move it to the Lighting section

    2 to argue then move it to the Electrical section

    7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

    5 to flame the spell checkers

    3 to correct spelling/grammar flames

    6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid

    2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

    15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

    19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

    11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

    36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty

    7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

    4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

    3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

    13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

    5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

    4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

    13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

    1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

          &quot;Oh, Oh... Why I never...!&quot;

          I was gonna remark on what a great thread this was, till I read someone's insinuating comments.
          Humorous postings like this fil a mental need for many people. Keeps the mind sharp; thoughts bright and clear.
          Gives ample time for reflection.
          Nice to see someone else up early doing the puns. T.C. and I can dleegate the power and responsibilty to others... as we don't usually shine too brightly in the morning.
          Not to switch topics, WildKat, but you really know how to socket to people.

              Blowing a Fuse!

              Well, I was all set to enjoy an evening of lighthearted humor by Pat, but then I saw that both Wildkat and Prom were basking in the glare of the spotlight. We all need an outlet for the day's frustrations, where we can get unplugged. I ode it to them to make this a 3-way, although I prefer one on one!

              So I'm stepping out from the shade, making dimwitted remarks about this panel of punsters. But I'm running out of time real fast, so I may need to ask for an extension, cordially of course. Wildkat was the icebreaker, and she got me rather frosted. I'm doing the best i ncan, descent attempts but not my finest! Guess I'll quite for now, and have a Budlite!

                  Ahh... to sit and bask in the glow of such lumenaries as WildKat and T.C....
                  I'd like to out-pun them, but I shunt even try.
                  Am too tired... having a hard time just trying to harness the energy to keep current around here.
                  T.C.'s writings are just revolting, and I think WildKat is starting to copper attitude.
                  I've got a news flash for you two...
                  Though I'm known for my short temper, tonight, I plan to just sit here quietly, and fade away.

                  Incandescent... that was brilliant!
