Title: cheesy joke
Post by: xnikki118x on January 15, 2009, 04:06:31 PM: I embrace the cheesy/overdone jokes and figured this one would be appropriate to post on a forum. :)

How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?

1,328:

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 anal-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 participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy"

109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped

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

306 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

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

14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URLs

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

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 new forum member to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Additional Forum Members:

12 to provide links to photos to their unique lightbulbs.

17 to ask where they got their unique lightbulbs.

29 to post ebay auctions for totally unique lightbulbs.

13 to say "Boy, some people will buy anything on eBay."

7 to complain about the links not working.

5 to post things that were posted earlier in the very long lightbulb thread.

2 to scream "READ THE WHOLE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST."

1 to post how this thread reminded of the time their cute, fluffy kitty did something with a lightbulb, drawing 22 posts of how cute that was, and their own cute, fluffy kitty / light bulb stories, and several others from posters who hate cute, fluffy kitties, who are then called @$$holes by the cute, fluffy kitty lovers.

Post by: Brehvolution on January 15, 2009, 07:22:18 PM: I was thinking about offing myself since life seemed to hard to press on. With a last ditch effort for any clarity, I called the suicide helpline.
I think I was routed to a call center in Pakistan because when I told the guy I was suicidal, he sounded all excited and asked me if I knew how to drive a truck.
