Light Bulb Changing.

How many folk musicians does it take to change a light bulb?

Five. One to change the light bulb, and four to sing about how good the old one was.

  • So, just what can go wrong with simply changing a light bulb?

  • kellyselectric:

    How many scientific research and development experts does it take to change a lightbulb?  One provided there's an engineer around to explain how to do it!




     

    But that only half the story. After the change, there would have had to have been an experiment to show whether or not the change had been successful. ?


    P.S. I have no idea what these new emoticons mean.
  • Perhaps they are meaning neutral Chris.

    I am afraid that video is my daily life with a few more external events thrown to add to the outstanding list. ?


    While I am now a doer rather than a manager I am reminded of the description of management as "as series of interruptions interrupted by more interruptions" 



    I also have no idea what most of the new emoticons mean, not just on this site but on many others, what happened to the simple smiley or sad face? ? (can't find a sad face so a "slightly frowning" one will have to do? (Smiling face with smiling eyes) 

  • Yep, we had the manager in the T.V. series "Drop the Dead Donkey" talking U.S. office manager newspeak  rollocks. Now we have perpetual abbreviations and unlabelled logos and anonymous signs and symbols. The world is going to wrack and to ruin. Nothing is sensible and CLEAR anymore. We just have to guess. A formula for trouble and chaos.

    It's a lamp - how many XXXX's does it take to change a lamp, that's lamp


    For Z, I sympathise with the acuteness of your conflict gradient

  • It's a light bulb O.M.S. For everyday people the light bulb joke is meaningless if you use the term "lamp".


    It's a light bulb joke and a light bulb moment.


    No lamps were harmed in the making of this comment.

    If you really want to get technical.......

  • How many engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

    None, they're all too busy trying to design a light bulb that never needs changing.


    or my all time favourite:

    None, they simply redefine darkness as the industry standard. ?
