To correct your grammar on here, you would want to say URLs, because you are trying to make URL plural, not possessive.

I changed a light bulb once. It broke whilst being removed from the socket, and cut my finger open. Must have been made in China.

So you don't believe in God?

[futuresoptions]

Ya know God created the light in light bulbs.....

[Noah930]

Very Carefully?

[sammyg2]

You forgot 22 people posting smart ass (although humorous) answers

BTW, use a carrot or potato to unscrew a broken light bulb brom a socket. I know a guy who's brothers, cousin's uncle's next door neghbor used needle nose pliars but didn't shut off the power. He got grounded for it.

Or, replace it with a flurescent bulb, that one simple act will prevent your kids from growing up in a barren desert world with no food or water and will take 200,000,000 cars off the road

Pluis you will save enough electricity to pay for the cost of that $10 bulb in just 28 short years.

A thin coating of Petroleum Jelly on light bulb threads will prevent them from sticking when they need to be replaced.

So you are basically saying that you believe that global warming is being induced by Gore, the Chinese and God . . . and Bush in a double secret pact with Gore and God?

Best,

Tell that to the guy (or gal) with the bulb up the bum.

Isn't that like the debate on whether or not to put anit-seize on the threads of your spark plugs?

How many gays does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Two. One to screw it in and the other to say ``Fabulous.''

I thought it was two, but they had to be really tiny gays.
