How many Frepers does it take to screw in a light bulb? (Friday Humor)

Posted on 08/14/2009 7:19:07 AM PDT by Borges

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

4 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

5 to flame the spell checkers

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"

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

6 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what supermarkets are offering discounts on brands of light bulbs, and what customer service they expect in a lightbulb shop

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

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?"

1 lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Aaargh I spelled Freepers wrong. Can you help out?

You didn't mention any moderators in your original post, and now you want US to help you out? Fugettaboutit...

Plus, title typos often lead to some of the best FR threads.

The number of FReepers needed depends on whether they are turning the bulb in the same direction. (And of course whether it’s a right or left handed bulb.)

I'm so conservative that I would never use a left-handed bulb, or a left-handed Cresant wrench or screwdriver, or a left-handed anything!

I do confess that it was a stock message board gag I cut and pasted. Funny how similar various boards are that this would be funny everywhere.

A blast from your past!

This legacy link is iffy at the moment.
It only shows up intermittently.
I can copy/paste it to you in a freepmail.

A gunless hunter from New Zealand to say they switched over to CFLs ten years ago by government mandate and ask why are we still bothering with incandescent lamps.

Talk about un intended consequence .... or did they intend that ?

At a certain point,
"Unintended Consequence"
Is not plausible.

You simply cannot

And one American to praise the Edison lamp, and another to post a biography of Thomas Alva Edison.

37 to post that the light bulb doesn’t need to be changed, it is working just fine as it is, and that changing the light bulb is just a liberal plot to give us all mercury posioning.

1 DUmmie/lurker to imply conservaties are racists because they use white light bulbs.

3 to post a “that’s racists” graphic in reply to the DUmmie.

4 to post they are stocking up on incandesent light bulbs.

8 to get in to a debate over whether incandesent, CFL, or LED bulbs are the future of light bulbs.

1 to post a picture of Helen Thomas as a dim bulb.

3 to point out that Helen Thomas has lately been one of the few journalist to ask Obama some tough questions, so maybe we should cut her some slack for a while.

3 to post pictures of Katherine Zeta-Jones in reply to the Helen Thomas picture.

5 to mistake the picture of Katherine Zeta-Jones for Helen Thomas and ask why people make fund of Helen Thomas’ looks.

Another.

5 to say that it is futile to change THIS light bulb because trying to change it makes us look crazy. Better to concentrate on changing other light bulbs.
