How many SWIMs does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

[FelixsMom]

I just had to copy/paste this little gem for your <grinning> pleasure

How many forum members does it takes 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
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
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 lightbulb 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
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
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
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 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

I'm sorry but this forum is about DMT and relating things. This post has no relation to this forum whatsoever.

Also, they are called incandescent light globes, and NOT light bulbs. I am so sick to death of people misrepresenting the facts.

Also your figures are wrong. You need to multiply all of those numbers by pie/2 to get the accurate amount of SWIMs needed to change an incandescent light globe. And do not forget about the DMT intoxication equation as well. Throw that in and you need 10 times as many SWIMs to change the darn things!

I can’t believe this. I am THE incandescent light globe expert. I’ve changed thousands of them and each one requires a slightly different maneuver, no two are identical. So some will take slightly more SWIMs to change than others. You failed to mention that detail.

Also, what if the glass is broken? THEN WHAT? You forgot about that critical detail. How many SWIMs are brave enough to tread that territory? I recommend that only the highly experienced even attempt that one. We’re talking bloody fingers and all sorts of bad experiences from amateurs attempting to go down that road. Yeah, leave that to us veterans who have the mind, body, and soul tough enough to handle that.

I’m not joking here. You can really have a bad experience attempting to change one that’s broken. I saw a friend attempt it and he ended up in the hospital.

I only hope someone out there can change it quick. I’m tire of sitting here in the dark

ROFL! Can't get anything by YOU, Ron! (I was wondering how long it would take for the Nexus Brain Police to arrive - woowoo you're so funny!)

AND YOUR LAST SENTENCE [above] is the crux of the matter and really the only good way to end a lightbulb joke.
That part about screwing in broken lightbulbs was particularly visual, VISCERAL and yummy.

heheheheh - FM :d

Has it been six months yet, 'cause...

 

[memo]

The United States Government has declared "WAR" on incandescent light bulbs! See:

http://www.wnd.com/index.php/index.php?pageId=58282

I believe that this is just a ploy to keep the peasants distracted. You know that the ban won't go into effect until after the end of the world in 2012 anyway!

Edit: why didn't it work?

 

[FelixsMom]

Hi Traveler et al: You ask where have I been. I've been in 2 continents, and have pictures to prove it. I give you 3 guesses. and one of them was South America! But I am not certain I can tell you when I have been. Or rather, I can answer where but not when or vice-versa. Heisenberg's principle...still a work in progress. I hope!
Cyb, are you the white rabbit? :lol:

hey FelixsMom , welcome back to The Nexus

also hilarious post

it would be cool if you would share a few tales of your travels

Cyb, are you the white rabbit? :lol:

[FelixsMom]

Lovely! Well, the lightbulb joke has served to bridge the years it seems. Which is why it's a classic.
I wish I had some great adventures to relate, but really just busy surviving. I lost a lot of my connections when I changed ISPs, so was really happy to get a message from the Nexus in my *new* email address.
I used to chat with a few people that I think are still here, and look forward to seeing the changes that have gone down here as well.
Bear w/ my netiquette, I will try not to post too many silly meaningless items such as this.

Cyb, are you the white rabbit? :lol:

[DeDao]

I dont get it

 

[Mr.Peabody]

Um, shouldn't this thread be moved to the humor section?
