Location: Isle of Man, UK | I'm sure you'll all agree that this board is something of an exception on the net, in that there's very little of this sort of behaviour goes on here, but you'll have run into other boards where you can imagine this happening:
How many board/forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?
1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...
another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 to remind you that you cannot hotlink light bulb images
1 to hijack the thread and ask how to change the horn
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
It made me giggle so I had to share it with you all. Do remember that there are boards out there where this would happen!!
Enjoy, and distribute. I take no writing credit - it's all someone else's work.

Location: East Tennessee | This year in Washington D.C. they did not have a nativity.
However this was not do to being politically correct.
1. They were unable to find three wise men.
2. They were unable to find one virgin.
They were however, able to find more than enough jackasses to fill the stable.
:D :D :D
Yes I just highjacked this thread. :D :D :D |

How many banjo players does it take to change a light bulb? Only one--he thinks the world revolves around him

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Well, I'm gonna go out on a limp here and tell y'all the funniest Lightbulb (yes, lightbulb...we invented it and therefore get to name it) joke I've ever heard...
So, if you are easily offended or feel the need to be politically correct or are sensitive to foul language and/or insensitivity, please go read the "On OFC Kindness" thread.
You've been warned...
How many men does it take to change a lightbulb?
