You still forgot some obvious ones (for RS, that is):

- 3 Americans pointing out that it must have been a European light bulb,
as this would never happen to an American one

- 3 Europeans pointing out that it also happens to American ones too.

- 1 poster pointing out that they didn't use the (expensive) 'right
light bulbs' and that cost is for strokes

- 4 posters pointing out that they're quite happy with their individual
choice of light bulbs, that they made a conscious choice and that those
that think that there is only one right light bulb are acting like
religious zealots.


And could I take the opportunity to point out that they are not light
bulbs, they are lamps. Bulbs is what you put in the garden.

That's included, sorta:

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

You realize, I hope, that this joke is more that 20 years old?

And "The General" is waaaay older than that, but it is still the
funniest movie ever made. ;-)

You obviously never saw "Carry On Nurses".

Did, too! ;-)

Those "Carry on" films were funny for the first 1/2-hour, and then kind of
faded. After the fourth one came out, I stopped watching.
