One lurker to respond to the original post six months from now with something unrelated and start it all over again.

LOL ain't it the truth.

one to point out "we are not really talking about light bulbs here are we"

Light bulbs? What light bulbs.

I thought we were here to talk about water bottles?

Hi Jack.
We had some rain so I didn't water my bulbs. My mom used to dig up her caladium bulbs and store them in the garage hanging up in hosiery, I just always left mine in the ground. Each bulb individually was light, but all together they got heavy. The bulbs ARE lighter if you are sure to get all the mud off of them. They'd be even lighter if you sqeezed all the water out of them, but I doubt they'd grow the next year. I figured they grew years before man started pampering them, I'll just leave them alone.

Well done!

My favorite:

How many computer programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?
NONE! That's a hardware problem.

How many inattentive, ungrateful sons does it take to change a lightbulb?
Mother, with long sigh: That's OK, I'll just sit here in the dark.

SIA

Is it a union job; because if it is I am not qualified or properly trained to do it!

Now we need a light bulb smiley!

Several dozen will rightly chime in with reminders that BHO and his minions (EPA) are continuing to erode our freedoms piece by piece as they COERCE us to adopt mercury-filled compact fluorescent bulbs through legislation instead of letting the free market reign and consumers decide.



Unfortunately, I didn't have to try to shoehorn politics into this one. How sad.

We have one (click on "view more smilies" and go to page 2), but if you read the rant I just posted, you'll realize this smiley is politically incorrect. . . with its earth-damaging, inconsiderate, fat-cat, Republican, middle-America, Bible-thumping, redneck, inbred, backwards-thinking incandescent bulb.

What if a KID saw that incandescent bulb and thought it was OK to create heat and waste energy?!?!
