How Many?

[Aprilis]

This made me laugh and as laughter is good for the soul I thought I would share it.

How Many AB Posters 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. 27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs. 53 to flame the spell checkers. 41 to correct spelling/grammar flames. 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb". Another 6 to condemn those 6 as anally-retentive. 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. 156 to email the ABed complaining that they are in violation of the "acceptable use policy". 109 to post that this topic is not about light bulbs so please post this in the correct one. 111 to defend the posting to this topic saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant. 306 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs and what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique. 27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs. 14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's. 33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too". 19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three". 4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ. 44 to ask what is a "FAQ". 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?".143 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....

[ELVIS68]

[Redbel]

Oh was it Elvis...... Doh... :)

[lindapinda]

Leave her alone Elvis!!

[lindapinda]

Good joke though !!

[ELVIS68]

And then add the poor sod who can`t afford lightbulbs and uses candles...therefore WM calling them a peasant which then attracts JohnLambert followed closely by Whiffey which then drifts off llightbulbs altogether and adds another 180 posts

[Redbel]

[Aprilis]

Thanks for your suggestions on those missed off the list but I already had to edit some out as there were too many characters to submit. It took me 3 attempts!

Elvis68 you cracked me up! It takes all sorts to make a world and the world of AB wouldn't be the same without them huh?

[ELVIS68]

And then..........stylinsam will ask..`OMG..where can I buy some pink lightbulbs for valentines night to go with the chocolates and marshmellows I`ve laid out all round the front room floor for my bf `.....another 60 posts

btw...I`m only kidding...;o)

[Aprilis]

Redbel I don't even want to go there. There are enough bun fights on here without the big debate on who would hold the ladder!

[Redbel]

And then.....we get lots of youtube links to songs to do with light....another 100 posts :-)

[whiffey]

You forgot the most important thing - it all makes life interesting.

[Aprilis]

[Aprilis]

[ELVIS68]
