No need to change the light bulb. After Y2K, there won't be any electricity.

At least one to mention the "lite" bulb is made of low-fat cheese and that it's not logged in properly- which of course is series.

Greenspan is inflating the price of light bulbs. Soon all of our light bulbs will be manufactured in China. I think light bulbs should be priced in nothing but gold.
