Great joke that's probably been posted before but is too good.

[knitter4democracy]

How many list 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.

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 there fore 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 show dog and a light bulb.

AND

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

It sounds just like DU. :)

1. It sounds like most online forums I have frequented

There are certain commonalities between them all. That encapsulates it quite nicely.

[trackfan]

2. What about the 11 who claim to be able to prove, logically,

and beyond all shadow of a doubt, that the whole "supposed need to replace the light bulb" was an elaborate conspiracy.

[ZombieNixon]

3. That's a characteristic intrinsic to political forums and therefore does

not apply to the spectrum of message board in general. (Is is "therefore" or "there fore?") :evilgrin:

[knitter4democracy]

5. Lol!

Yeah, we'd have to add that to make it DU--they'd then start their own thread on that. ;)

[LynzM]

4. LMAO

:rofl: Too true, too true....

[trof]

6. Are you questioning my belief in light bulbs?

Because it sure sounds like it.

[knitter4democracy]

7. No, sir, not here.

;)

8. Master Shake told me to go in the freezer...

because there was a carnival in there. There was no carnival. It was a damn freezer. I got freezer burn, and I got mushed up against that chicken.

Oh...this is about light bulbs?

[sakabatou]

9. And one to post a kitty pic

[knitter4democracy]

10. Thanks for making me snort out loud.

That's too funny!

11. You'll save money if you use the 130Volt light bulbs. It's a math thing,

but it does save money. Plus they won't burn out as often.

Okay, I guess I'm in the

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

and the

"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" group.

My question is where are the other 14 and 35 of you. I have the bases covered in two of those group, but I need someone to tag team and of course, the obligatory 10 or 20 to disagree with me.

:P

[knitter4democracy]

12. I'm highly partial to the natural light lightbulbs.

Can I get your kind in my favorite kind? ;)
