Don't forget you'd have at least 3 posters complaining
that the thread was racist because only white lights were discussed,
not red, green, blue or black ones. :lol:

I'm betting that most of you were thinking the answer would be "All Of Us".... Send Andrew up the ladder to hold the bulb, and the rest of us to pick up the ladder and turn it :wink:

Good point Mindy, plus, we need lots of light bulbs at the shows so we can see the show. Light bulbs are relevant and I can't believe that someone didn't think of this sooner!

Of course it is. It's been around the internet in one form or another for years.

It's still funny, though. :lol:

3...? It usually takes only 1!

BTW it's not "white" or "colored" lights anymore. It's now properly "achromatic" and "chromatic".
