4 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

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

15 to flame the spell checker poster

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...

12 to claim they know which light bulb is best

2 to claim the cheaper but weaker OEM bulb is just fine

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

Very good - but you seem to have forgotten:

1 to point out that they do it better on his planet;
1 to take exception with the fact that a woman could do it by herself;
3 other ladies to agree with her;
1 to explain how it is done Down Under;
and
1 to insert a bunch of Smileys in the rebuttals to the quotes!!

[trikebubble]

you forgot the one obligatory post from TrashMonkey that was tagged "DELETED"

Now is that actually forum members or forum posts you're counting. And of course you have to add the HD factor, which of course would require all that plus a trip to the store, 5-6 new shirts and a new set of boots since they think people will see them better with the new lightbulb. And then at the end you have original person back telling you he put the light bulb in wrong and to correctly do it had to rewire the entire front light bar cause the root cause was the excess draw from the 500W radio he installed...which of course took:

1 person to install,
14 to share....

Being an expert on the subject, I personally verify that the the answer to the question at hand is tuna, crabgrass and molefoam.

It's a thread that hijacks itself. Besides, someone had to do it..... I figured I'd get it over with quick before we made too much of a commitment to it.

By the way, molefoam is that furry stuff used to make the non scratch feet on electronics equipment. It's used interchangably with rubber feet.

We have a similar, but shorter, version of this joke at work:

"How many audio guys does it take to change a light bulb?"

"None - it's a video problem."

[azchick]

That's a great "How many..." post!
LOL!
