The Lightbulb

This just came from another egroup I belong to - made me laugh! phil


How many group members does it take to

Change a light Bulb........

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light
bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in emails 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 email that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this
discussion to a lightbulb group
11 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all use light bulbs
and therefore the emails are relevant to this group
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 email URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to email that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL's
3 to email 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 emails to date, quote them in their entirety including all
headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to email to the group that they will no longer email 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 emailing questions about
light bulbs"
1 group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start
it all over again.
