Chuckle of the Day

Don’t know who to credit with this - saw it on Facebook. What would you replace “lightbulb” with?

QUESTION:

How many hosts does it take to change a light bulb?

ANSWER:

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.

17 purists who use candles and are offended by light bulb discussions.

6 to argue over whether it’s ‘lightbulb’ or ‘light bulb’.

Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid.

22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being a***holes.

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is ‘lamp’.

15 know-it-alls who claim that they were in the industry and that ‘light bulb’ is perfectly correct.

4 to post that you shouldn’t be a host if you can’t even change a F#@$%*! light bulb!

49 to post memes and GIFs (several are of Michael Jackson eating popcorn with the words added: “I’m just here for the comments.”)

19 to post that this page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb page.

11 to defend the posting to this page saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant here.

24 to discuss the merits of LED/swirly fluorescent light bulbs

44 to claim LED and fluorescent bulbs will kill you.

12 to post the letter “F”.

8 to ask what F means.

7 to post ‘Following’ despite the 3 dots at the top right that mean you don’t have to.

3 to say “can’t share”.

2 to reply “can’t share from a closed group”.

36 people to post photos of their own light bulbs.

15 people to post “I can’t see S$%^!” and use their own light bulbs.

6 to report the post or privately message an admin/moderator because someone said “f÷×$”

4 to say “Didn’t we go through this already a short time ago?”.

13 to say “Do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs”.

1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that (insert politician of choice) isn’t the brightest bulb. This usually takes place within the first three comments.

50 more to get into personal attacks over their political views.

3 to state sanctimoniously that this is supposed to be a friendly Facebook group and that all of this petty nonsense is a result of people abandoning courtesy.

5 admins to ban the posters who were insulting.

3 who come up with a conspiracy theory about light bulbs which either involves them catching Coronavirus or that they will fry their brains.

1 late arrival to comment on the original post and start it all over again… 6. Months. Later. :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

Added: [Amanda Clare]It missed one!

1 to ask how often you sanitize your lightbulbs

1000 to say sanitize all lightbulbs after every guest.

5 poor souls that say they don’t sanitize lightbulbs because no one should be touching lightbulbs

50 to tell those 5 that they are disgusting, filthy individuals who shouldn’t be hosting

10 to say “that’s why I stay in a hotel - where they always sanitize their lightbulbs”

And 2 self righteous individuals that claim that it’s gross to just sanitize lightbulbs because you literally have no idea what people do with lightbulbs when no one is looking. They replace all lightbulbs with new lightbulbs every single stay.

To keep it going…Maggie Smith’s character on the change from candles to electric lights. Hugh Bonneville said Maggie Smith’s use of the fan was her own and not directed or on the script.

My favorite lightbulb joke is about my hip hometown. It sums up Austin perfectly. Some of you live in the same types of places, you can apply it to your city too, I’m sure.

How many Austinites does it take to change a lightbulb?

1 to change the lightbulb.
And 99 to talk about how much cooler it was in the 70’s.

That’s how I originally heard it but I’ve since heard the “kids” say, “how much cooler it was in the 90s”. Both are correct.

There’s one missing:

1 who posts a blurb and link to their personal lightbulb business, making it sound as if
they are simply making a recommendation based on their use of those lightbulbs.

8 to tell them that spam isn’t allowed on the forum.

10 to say he’s a liar for saying he’s a experienced host, he doesn’t have any listings as a
host.

2 to say welcome to the forum and thanks for the link.

5 to say they tried those bulbs and they were crap.

1 who is a moderator to tell the OP that spam isn’t allowed, they should spend some
time reading before posting, and locking the thread.

And,
5 to suggest more paragraphs and condemn unfamiliar acronyms.

1 to say a lightbulb exploded and injured their guest, whose medical bills they had to
cover and which resulted in a bad review Airbnb refused to remove.

6 to say that any host who changes their own lightbulbs is a fool and doesn’t know
anything about running a business.
