How many forum 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

1 mod to make it a sticky

14 to highlight the dangers of changing light bulbs and how the
light bulb could have been changed differently

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"

Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid

1 to say the bulbs are inferior foreign rubbish and should all be sent back

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

3 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light
bulb" is perfectly correct

1 to call one of the know-it-alls princess

19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take
this discussion to a light bulb forum

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light
bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

5 People to post pics of their own light bulbs

15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and their own light bulbs

7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL's

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all
headers and signatures, and add "+ 1"

5 to announce they are no longer posting to the thread and say "I'm out"

1 to ruin everyone's fun by posting a link to Snopes

1 to suggest torpedoing boat loads of imported lightbulbs and not get suspended

4 more to get into personal attacks over their political views.

5 who aren't out and have come back to add thirty more comments

1 to make a knob gag

1 moderator to lock the light bulb thread.

If posted in Off-Topic, you need to add that the discussion will either degenerate to a discussion of

- energy efficiency and then global warming, or
- light bulbs as targets and then guns / gun control.

Adam, an elderly man was seated in the doctor's waiting room. When he was called in to see the doctor, Adam slowly got up, and, grasping his cane and hunching over, slowly made his way into the examining room.

After only a few minutes, Adam emerged from the room, walking completely upright. Paul, another patient who had watched him hobble into the room all hunched over, stared in amazement. 'That must be a miracle doctor in there.' he exclaimed. 'What treatment did he give you? What's his secret?'

Adam stared at Paul and said, 'Well, the doctor looked me up and down, analysed the situation, and gave me a cane that was four inches longer than the one I had been using.'

Ronan kept going to the ophthalmic doctor because his eye hurt and the doctor finally discovered his problem. The Doc told him, 'Your eye hurts when you drink tea, so you can't drink tea.'

Ronan stuttered, 'But I love tea.'

The doctor replied, 'Okay, as long as you take the spoon out.'

A famous surgeon went on a safari in Africa. When he came back, his colleagues asked him how it had been.
'Oh, it was very disappointing,' he said. 'I didn't kill a thing. I'd have been better off staying here in the hospital.'

Patient: It's been one month since my last visit and I still feel miserable.

Doctor: Did you follow the instructions on the medicine I gave you?

Patient: I sure did - the bottle said 'keep tightly closed.'

A mother complained to her consultant about her daughter's strange eating habits.

'All day long she lies in bed and eats yeast and car wax. What will happen to her?'

'Eventually,' said the consultant, 'she will rise and shine.'

A man had been having horrible headaches for years. He went from doctor to doctor and no one could help. Finally one doctor decided to examine his whole body,. He noticed the the man's testicles were pushed up into his body. "There's your problem" , the doctor said, "those will need to be removed and the headaches will be cured".

The man had the operation and shortly after recovery he felt fantastic. No headache. Things were so wonderful he decided to go out and buy a new suit of clothes from head to foot. He sought out the finest tailor in town. The tailor started taking the man's measurements. "Hat"? " 8 1/2 the response", "suit", "40 long", "Shoes"? "size 10. "Ok", the tailor said, "you have everything except underwear, what is your size"? "32 the response". "No", the tailor said, "that can't be". The man kept arguing that he wore size 32 underwear. "Listen", the tailor said, "I have been a tailor for 40 years and I know my business, I am telling you that you should be wearing a size 36 underwear, if you wore a 32, your testicles would be pushed so far up into your body, you would be walking around with headaches all of the time".
