Funny and True

I just received this and thought it was soooo funny! Enjoy!

How many messageboard list members does it take to change a lightbulb?

One to change the light bulb and a second to post that the light bulb has been changed (the first does not have regular email access).

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

Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

Seven more to point out spelling or grammar errors in the posts about changing light bulbs.

Five to flame the spell checkers.

Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.

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

Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give correct spelling.

One to post the old joke about "Hams don't change light bulbs, they redesign the ciruit to use LED's".

Two to post that "LED's" is incorrect grammar, and that the plural form of LED is LEDs.

Three to post that the "LED's" / LEDs postings are Off Topic as the current discussion is about light bulbs.

Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs or LEDs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb or LED) forum / mailing list / chatroom / whatever.

Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.

Two to say "I'm having to change lightbulbs tomorrow at work therefore it is relevant to ME".

Thirty-six 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.

Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL (bracketed inside < and > characters so that word wrap does not break the URLs).

Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

Thirteen to link all postings to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers, trailers and signatures, and add "Me too".

Another four that again quote the above "all postings" and add "Me three".

Five to post to the group that they are quiting the list because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.

Four to ask "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

Thirteen to say "Google is your friend", or "Do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

Three to tell a funny story about their spouse/cat/dog/ parrot/whatever and a light bulb.

AND

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

What's a light bulb?

i think it's "lightbulb"

Bob and Susan.

I like candles myself.


And wouldn't the modern day spelling be "litebulb"

Way to go, BajaGypsy. You have nailed this board so perfectly. And by the way did we go "green" in light bulb use? The Nomads get off on so many tangents sometimes that this is not only very funny but true.

Paulina that would be fun!

Jut thought I'd break up the tension abit

I hope I don't get banned from posting but I had a tall friend over and handed him the bulb and he changed it. He isn't a Nomad,,,,,, yet. Is that legal? OOPS! I should have asked before, I know, but opportunity knocked and the light hadn't worked for months. I was sure no self respecting Nomad would change the bulb without at least a spotter.

so, we can assume the bulb was changed. how does the bulb feel about it's new form?

and in what way was it changed from it's original form.....?



i'm just saying....

Being a jazz musician and having worked with various (diva) female vocalists, the question is as follows:

How many female singers does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: Only one. You hold her up and the world revolves around her.

The drummer does a rim shot: ba da boom...crash!

As of yet we still don't have it, in order to make supper the kids need to ride a bicycle that power the generator.

You mean the ones that challenge everyone to identify the objects by shape only---the objects burried under mountains of that white cold stuff?

Yes Diane you are correct. Woke up this morning to it being -3ºC. Had to scrape the windows on the car this morning. Within a month this is what Saskatoon will look like.
