-
how enlightening...1 guy who makes the lame pun or inappropriate satire...who also tallies the total number at 169 but it will soon be 170 if this same person has added incorrectly.
-
Did you make all of that up MonikaS?
-
No, it's old, I found it in another forum and have seen it before. It's a variant of "How many <ethnic> do you need to <do something>?"
-
You forgot the rodent who just posts this -> [;D]
-
May I be the last to wish you all a happy new year.
Yep, you forgot the one to go off topic.
-
no...
you have it all wrong.
it takes one forum member to change a light bulb. 169 to talk on a topic about it [;D]
now, if the guy was having trouble changing the lightbulb, and posted a question for help... then we get into some real big numbers [:D]
-
You forgot the person who makes smutty innuendo about the size of light bulbs and screwing actions.
-
LOL
And then the women demanding to delete that post because children read the forum too.
-
Then the children posting about how embarrassing their mother is
-
Then the children posting about how embarrassing their mother is
And then the curmudgeon who points out that this has nothing to do with the subject and post a request to get back on topic.
-
Then someone to point out that that comment about the children is on topic.
-
no...

Not forgetting the pedant who needs to point out that there is a distinct lack of capital letters around (FOG).
-
How about the FOG who asks if it is a threaded or bayonet fitting?
-
You forgot the person who makes smutty innuendo about the size of light bulbs and screwing actions.
Not you then? [;D]
-
And the woman who points out that innuedo is all in your mind, not mine!
-
Then the children posting about how embarrassing their mother is
Then the mothers posting about how their son mis-spelled lightbulb.
-
Then the comedian who posts clips of Tommy Cooper doing the lightbulb sketch.
-
Then some curmudgeon who points out thet Tommy Cooper really is off topic.
-
...which he is.
-
Not if he is doing a joke about a light bulb.
-
As far as I'm aware, he's not a forum member so he's off topic.
-
He is dead so I guess that rather excludes him but how do you know that he wouldn't have been if he was still alive?
-
Then someone who points out that Tommy Cooper was Welsh so would have been more interested in sheep than a science forum.
-
And then the resident forum sheepie remarks that sheeps are very relevant in a science forum.
