snipsnsnailsx5 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Sorry...I'm sure this has been shared before. I've seen it elsewhere before too...but just incase, I'm sharing it here :) Its totally worth it to read more then once..;) How Many Message Board Posters Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb? One to change the lightbulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed. Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulbs 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 lightbulbs. 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 postings 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 works best for which 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 relevent to this group, therefore making 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 kids and a light bulb. AND One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma H Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) That pretty much nails it! Here is more lightbulb fun. Q: How does a home schooler change a light bulb? A: First, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life. Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles. Next, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they’ll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill. On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill. Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed. And there is light.
