popgun Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I saw this on another board I visit and thought I would share. I also changed the first line to make it more personal. Question: How many Realtree Forum Members does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: *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 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 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 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 5 People to post pics of 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 "Me too" 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post 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 posting questions about light bulbs" 1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that George W. Bush isn't the brightest bulb. 4 more to get into personal attacks over their political views. 1 moderator to lock the light bulb thread. 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again. .....popgun ("Reminding everyone that back in my day, light bulbs didn't have to be changed so often") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion_70 Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Re: Wow...this sounds a lot like us!! Hey, it didn't say anything about the best place to buy a lightbulb.. Personally I think Wal-mart is the most logical place, they sell everything there. I know it puts a lot of mom and pop shops out of business and they're the evil empire, but hey their prices are cheap Oh, was this light bulb made by a union employee or non union : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
