Hi all!
While trying valiantly to find a light bulb for my broken timing
light (see, there IS some car connection here, and again at the
end of the joke), I came across this on the Web:
How many people does it take to change a light bulb in cyberspace?
1 to successfully change the light bulb and to post to the mail
list 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.
156 to write to the list administrator complaining about the light
bulb discussion and its inappropriateness to this mail list.
41 to correct spelling in the spelling/grammar flames.
109 to post that this list is not about light bulbs and to please
take this email exchange to alt.lite.bulb.
203 to demand that cross posting to alt.grammar, alt.spelling and
alt.punctuation about changing light bulbs be stopped.
111 to defend the posting to this list saying that we are all
using light bulbs and therefore the posts **are** relevant to this
mail list.
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 URLs where one can see examples of different light
bulbs.
14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly, and to post
corrected URLs.
3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant
to this list which makes light bulbs relevant to this list.
33 to concatenate all posts to date, then quote them including all
headers and footers, and then add "Me Too."
12 to post to the list that they are unsubscribing because they
cannot handle the lightbulb controversy.
19 to quote the "Me Too's" to say, "Me Three."
4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.
1 to propose new alt.change.lite.bulb newsgroup.
47 to say this is just what alt.physic.cold_fusion was meant for,
leave it here.
143 votes for a new list alt.lite.bulb.
38 votes proclaiming the advantages in using vintage lightbulbs
I hope you have all enjoyed this! I laughed so hard I had to pick
myself up off the floor!
Have a great weekend!
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
