Q: How many Bulletin Board posters does it take to change a light bulb?

 

A: 88

 

 

1 to change the light bulb and to post to the BB that the light bulb has been changed

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

5 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.

3 to flame the spell checkers

4 to write to the BB administrator complaining about the light bulb discussion and its inappropriateness to this BB

6 to correct spelling in the spelling/grammar flames

9 to post that this BB is not about light bulbs and to please take this exchange to the Light Bulb BB

5 to defend the posting to this BB saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts **are** relevant to this BB

12 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

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

10 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and to post corrected URLs

3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this BB which makes light bulbs relevant to this BB

2 to post to the BB that they are leaving because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ

1 to bump the light bulb thread in 6 months and start the whole thing over again

91 - one to blabber on about some arcane, meaningless, obscure light bulb fact long dead and buried, causing readers to confirm their diagnosis of the poster's senility.  :rolleyes:

95- stuckincincy's post that light bulbs aren't made like they used to be. They burn out way too quickly, but what else would you expect from our liberal, rapid-paced, me-first society? In my day, we used to screw in lightbulbs by turning them to the left AND the right at the same time, with no ladder, and nobody EVER said "!@#$!" when they touched a hot lightbulb, unlike today's punks.

You forgot the 3 that argue that the light bulb didn't need to be changed, the 5 that argue that the light bulb you left on the shelf is better than the one you put in, and the 1 th threaten a spearing contest...

1 to insist that it's the socket, not the bulb. Yet another to insist it's the breaker (despite the fact that everything else on the circuit works), and yet another to insist the whole house needs re-wired.

 

Oh, and 1 to blame JP.
