How Many Pelicans Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb?

How Many Pelicans Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb?

21!!!

One to actually change it (not the owner of the light bulb but rather a local Pelican that knows how to change one).

One to lend the ladder.

Four to stand around and discuss the proper twist method, optimum bulb wattage and proper candela strength.

Two to watch the Speed Channel while the work is being done.

Three to drink the beer and wonder when the munchies are going to start coming out.

Two to check out the other light bulbs and discuss upgrading to LED or Fluorescence.

One to take pics and post on PPOT

Three to say will show and don't but comment on PPOT about it.

Three to show up that never said they were going to.

One (the owner) to sit back and enjoy...

And then comes the frowning upon from the purists saying the bulb should have been left original.

One to mention there was a thread about this last year and recommend you use the search function.

You forgot the one troll to suggest that the existence of lightbulbs proves that there is no God.

Throw in a fluffer and another wiping his sack on a pillow and you've just about got it.

Three more to say "use the search feature" and two more to point out that this has been covered ad nauseum elsewhere.

Surely someone can blame Bush for the old bulb failing, and credit Obama for the installation of an energy efficient CFL (recognizing that the CFL releases trace amounts of mercury to the atmosphere) when it gets broken of course).

And then someone mentions how SWEPCO will improve the life of his bulb and make shifting better...

Sure, you can use SWEPCO, but if you installed a gererator, that lightbulb would be paying for itself in no time at all!

and another to claim that the 'bulb cooler' really did work while two others disagree...
