TheEliteOne Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I hope everyone didn't already see this.. but I find it very funny/true. Enjoy. How many forum members does it takes 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 Electricals 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.

customsteve01 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 3dzapper, Don't you know at least one person would have to bring and try to sell you a new power cord for that lamp. they would say it will make the light more white and brighter if you happen to just tilt your head to the left 4 degrees.

dodger Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 How many Watts? Incandescent or flourescent? How many Lumens? What brand? What gauge wire going to lamp socket? dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhead Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 See if this sounds familiar: If the filament had been made of wire instead of tungsten, it wouldn't have burned out in the first place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonecj Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I am afraid to respond for fear of being put into the wrong category. Either that, or I am just not 'bright' enough to think of a good response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRBILL Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I can do this, but the rest of you had better not try. How many Episcopalians does it take to change a lightbulb? Three. One to call a licensed electrician. One to mix the drinks. One to go on and on about how wonderful the OLD lightbulb was. FR BILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 How many hairdressers to change lightbulb? 7- one to change the bulb 6-to prance around and lisp 'fabulous!' Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 There would need to be a debate over the worth of NOS lightbulbs vs current manufacture Then some debunkers to say no one can see the difference anyway. ... that would be the lightbulb is a lightbulb crowd.

joessportster Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 i just found this new and wonderful interconnect (socket) that makes the light brighter and lasts 5 times longer its silver coated brass and just think its only 395.99, connect this with that extra special powercord and my what a bright lamp you have Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletcherkane Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 How many altos to change a light bulb? None, they can't reach that high. How many diva sopranos? One, but it takes a while. She climbs on a step stool, holds the bulb in the socket, and waits for the world to revolve around her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
