So, how many members DOES it takes to change a light bulb?

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.

Absolutely brilliant Ralph and oh so very true.

 

I wonder who will be first to see this and over protest his/her own innocence?

So the danger point must come when the 180th person reads each thread - or something?

So am I right then or is my maths a bit dodgy?

Q. How Many Dogs Does It Take to Change A Light Bulb?

 

A1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our

whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid

burned out bulb?

 

A2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not

up to code.

 

A3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

 

A4. Rottweiler: Make me.

 

A5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

 

A6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can

I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

 

A7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I lead these people from

the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one

more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of

the situation.

 

A8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the

walls and furniture.

 

A9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light

bulb?

 

A10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the

dark.

 

A11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

 

A12. Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there ...

 

A13. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

 

A14. New Zealand Sheep Dog: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a

little cluster...

 

A15. Toy Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do

it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

 

The Cat's Answer: "Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light

bulbs. So, the real question is: How long will it be before I can expect

some light, some dinner, and a massage?"

I think you may have forgotten the 5 from Safety Services department to witness the procedure and write up the Risk assessment.

Who then pass it to the Secretary to type up and submit to the the 6 person review panel.

Then when the Risk Assessment lead to a difficulty resulting in an accident.

So an other phones for a Ambulance with it's crew of 2. Then the A&E dept at the local Hospital adds another half dozen, who in turn send details to the Hosptal Admin. Not forgetting the intervention of a whole host of HSE Inspectors.

This results in a legal review bringing countless lawyers in to discussion and legal arguement culminating in a court hearing with the Barristers & Judge, Oh, then the Journalist who reports the case in the local paper for a readership of ? say 100,000.

Apologies if you where not aware, I was hoping I hadn't missed you out., with all these people involved there was bound to be someone.?

But inow because so many people are aware, it becomes more than local event, so you should hear all about it on the TV evening news.
