AND

One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now with something unrelated and start it all over again!

hahaha that was great!

You know, you don't have any links to back up any of this.

[quote="teethandclaws"]that's definitely the best joke i've heard in a looong time. nice.

you forgot

One to claim that the lightbulb was never changed, that it's a conspiracy of a secret society to make you think it was changed

ha! good one.

That's weird...

I e-mailed that recommendation back to the person who sent me the original list, and he said it WAS on the original list, but it somehow got deleted from the list in transit, possibly by the ISP or some other monitoring agency...

:P

that's funny

You also forgot- one to ask if that blown bulb could have lasted longer if only the first set of bulb installers had installed the bulb while applying the practices of humanism.
