Light Bulbs or Guns?

[jcwit]

Found this and thought it was hilarious, but somewhat true none the less!

Stolen from another site...that was stolen from another site....etc, etc...



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

One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
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
One to move it to the lighting section
Two to argue, then move it to the electrical section
Seven to point out spelling/ grammar errors in 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
Two industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

Nineteen to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
Eleven to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
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 URLs

One forum lurker to respond to the original post eight months from now and start it all over

[FISH4BUGS]

Boy is that true! Very funny!

[popper]

True, but you get to sort the replies into groups and learn who to respond to - and that is a dangling paticiple, right?

[Artful]

Wait - shouldn't his be moved to the Humor & Off Topic section ? :kidding:

[jcwit]

Could be, I also posted it on another forum and they deleted it as not gun related, no sense of humor over there.

[Hamish]

Ironically illuminating!

[jcwit]

Absolutly, I realized its not gun related but really folks need a chuckle now and then in todays world for sure.

Thanks for keeping it up!

[429421Cowboy]

Priceless! Not as big an issue on this site as others but i have seen everything described! Thanks for sharing.

[ErikO]

+1 ;)

[OBIII]

Shame, lurker. Forgot to post the quote! :kidding:

[montana_charlie]

You left out the final step, to wit ...

One Moderator to make the thread a 'sticky'.

[Doc_Stihl]

What about the guy to point out that the light bulb didn't need to be changed in the first place.

[nvbirdman]

I hope there's a light at the end of this tunnel.

[linotype]

And as with the Irish, one to change the lightbulb/light bulb/lamp/lighting device/torch, and ten to toast how grand the light was before she burned out and to blame the English for the demise of the light. [smilie=s:

[scarry scarney]

I'll comment in 9 months......

[runfiverun]

where did you get 4 guy's to pick up and turn the ladder?

[SciFiJim]

How about the guy that remembers that they didn't use light bulbs in his youth? Instead they used candles and then goes on to describe how his mother and aunt made them.

[Blacksmith]

In the spirit of this thread.

Don't you mean "participle"?

My Irish buddy says the right way is for one guy to get a grip on the light bulb, then 14 other guys drink until the room spins.

[Flinchrock]

That's us all right!!!

[btroj]

Heck, I already knew all that. I just Googled it. Duh

Doesn't anyone ever use Searches before makingn posts?

[garym1a2]

I don't have light bulbs in my house, just incandestant lamps.

Oh, the shame of it all. That's how the shanty Irish change a bulb. Mine is the lace Irish version.

[DRNurse1]

LOL...RunFive, this is he Cast Boolits Forum, We help each other out, right? Besides, Linotipe said ther is beer involved. Always a great way to end a shooting day.

Peace...unless you drop the bulb, then piece(s).

[GRid.1569]

I envy you guys still allowed to own & use light bulbs... UK banned them a year or so ago (like everything else)....

Now we just have eco-friendly energy saving alternatives that take about 3 days to reach a reasonably level of illumination...

.... No Kidding....

Oh, they treat you like mushrooms!?¿[smilie=s:

The lighting devices I'm going to be changing are those &*^$#@ compact florescent's that I foolishly bought. I want light when I turn them on, not 3-4 seconds later!Did you know they don't work at all outside in the good old Wisconsin winter? Grrrrrr!

[Freightman]

And they burn out just as fast and cost ten times as much "real savings" Right. and all have made in China on them!

[Jim Flinchbaugh]

I found this very amusing and a great way to start the day.
Thanks!

[Doc_Stihl]

There are other fun parts of the compacts. The mercury content is scary. The ones that I've purchased for outside lights that are left on for long periods of time all EXPLODED. And I don't mean broke, I mean blew out the glass housing out on one lamp, and blew the top off of another.

Kinda like the saying, real trucks don't have spark plugs, well real light bulbs don't have circuit boards.

[GRid.1569]

You should check out the LED alternatives... 10x more pricey than the compact Flu's... and with about the same Lux output as sidelight on my car.... :-(

£40 GBP ($60 USD) a piece... OUCH !

[jcwit]

Since this thread has now went off into which light bulb (or whatever you wish to call it) to buy. I'll add this, just like primers and powder and .22 rimfire, I'm pretty sure I have enough incandescent bulbs to last me the rest of my life time.

[km101]

This brings to mind many threads that I have read in the past! Funny and O So True!

[Gliden07]

Thanks!! I liked this thread a lot!!

[RED333]

Give me a break, yall are to funny!!!

[wallenba]

We have a light bulb (lightbulb) forum? I can't seem to find that.:?

[btroj]

This may be some of the brightest comments ever on this site

[linotype]

We have a light bulb (lightbulb) forum? I can't seem to find that.:?

Yes we do. There is a debate going on right now about the Lyman halogen 535001 and the H&G Hurricane lamp, the old radiates more heat than light topic.

[gon2shoot]

Looks like a 40 watt thread to me.

[41 mag fan]

Bump to the top

[GRid.1569]

Why hasn't somebody pointed out that they should be called..... Light bOOlbs.... :groner:

[MBTcustom]

One Moderator to make the thread a 'sticky'.

Which brings it to an even 140 booliteers to change a lightbulb/light bulb/lamp.

[41 mag fan]

This thread has inspired me. I'm going to write a book titled "Dummies Guide to Changing a Light Bulb"

It's going to be a minimum of 500 pages, and I'm going to be rich!!

In fact I'm going to be so rich, I'm going to take a community organizers approach to this richness.
I'm going to spread my wealth amongst all the members on this forum!!!
Get ready boys and girls, we're going to live off my wealth I'll be making!! [smilie=w: :guntootsmiley:

Couldn't resist.....
