From the XJbikes forum

[Huggy]

I found the following on the XJbikes forum I belong to and thought I would post it here! I changed the first line to go with our forum. The person who posted it on the XJ forum found it on another forum and edit like wise.

 

How many Venture Rider members does it take to change a light bulb?

 

One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed.

 

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

 

Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

 

Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.

 

Five to flame the spell checkers.

 

Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.

 

Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another six to condemn those six as stupid.

 

Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the correct spelling.

 

Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.

 

Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs and there fore the posts are relevant to this group.

 

Thirty six 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

 

Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

 

Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL.

 

Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

 

Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

 

Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.

 

Four to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

 

Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

 

Three to tell a funny story about their show dog and a light bulb.

 

AND

 

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

 

Whoops! http://xjbikes.com/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

You left out the seven posts that question why we even have to have headlights and why should the government even be involved in telling us what we can and can not do "for our own good".

[bongobobny]

Yah! Have you tried buying 100 Watt light bulbs lately?? If you need one I have one for sale!

 

I have changed many light bulbs in my life and for now my favorite are Reveals. I just absolutely love the way they make the room look warm and cozy. They also make my trike look really good in the garage!

 

By the way, it's light, NOT lite!!! Of course if it is a cheap Chinese bulb made from inferior materials I guess you could consider it "lite." Good grief, buy a dictionary and learn how to spell...

 

If this light bulb controversy doesn't end soon I'm going to quit posting in this thread!
