2 Industry Professionals To Inform The Group That The Proper Term Is "lamp"

Lol! Thats So Funny!

[Whumbahcumba]

That was pretty funny and all too true.

[djroga]

This is so true...but you should see the list generated by members of my religion...makes this look like the Reader's Digest version..

Thanks for posting..I needed a second laugh today..looking in the mirror was #1, number three is coming at the end of a certain football game.

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

I started to read this, and started smiling almost immediately.
I started to chuckle soon after.
But when I read about the 33, I cracked up.

And then I was sorely tempted to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety, including all headers and signatures, and add, "Me, too."

[CaptainTom]

Don't forget...

1 guy to say "RTFM" and have his post pulled by the forum moderators.

[SCone]

And what about compact fluorescents?

These are funny, but I can't believe nobody mentioned lightglobes.

[kenw]

43 to claim Apple bulbs won't need to be changed because everyone knows they are superior.

[Dennis_Benton]

1 to point out that we went thru this 3 - 1/2 years ago

[toverman]

And some will lament that a certain light bulb won't fit their light mount and they are considering switching to a new one.

[my3peas]
