I can't take credit for this, but... (I nearly laughed myself to tears while reading it!)


How many message board readers does it take to change the 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.

Seven more 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.

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

Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Three to tell a funny story about their chickens and a light bulb.

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

So true, and I have to admit to being one of the spellcheck and grammar fiends!

Absolutely spot on!!!

That was great!


Just proves how many personalities we have in forums.

Of course you left out the concerned posters for the poor that don't have light bulbs and must use candles which destroy the environment.

Then you left out the number of posters who said we went to war over light bulbs, not oil.

So is it light Bulb or Lightbulb

You have no idea what have you started do you? WE LOVE LIGHT BULBS!

And in the end, the light bulb was probably not ever changed.
Perhaps the light bulb is better off where it is, rather than to be tossed away....perhaps it may ultimately find the strength within to re-discover its glow...perhaps it just needs time to be alone...perhaps replacing it so soon with a newer, younger, shinier light bulb would be too much for it to take and it might explode...perhaps it just got fed up with not being appreciated for the light it provided, night after night... perhaps it just needs a better screwing!!!!!

You forgot

At least one person who will reply using only emoticons!!

Excellent point......I'll google it.

And 6 others who will immediately respond in that manner just to validate the premise...

make sure to use right spelling!

...and 1 person who will contact the moderators because it's an inflammatory topic.

6 to argue about the decision of moderators!

You killing me! I can't stop laughing!!!

Three to discuss whether light bulbs (or lightbulbs) are made by God or an athiest creation.

Coming soon:


A poll asking what is your favorite wattage of bulb and would you have sex with it?

I'm dying here!

Would the light bulb post a thread to state that it won't be around any more?
