Ummmm, Sir, I need to inform you that we RUB's (sniff, sniff) do not change our own light bulbs. We hire licensed professionals at $80. an hour to change them for us!

Seeing as I only visit this site during the day time, I didn't realize the light bulb needed to be changed.

And the rest of us read all 33 pages!!!

Poor people in Sri Lanka would give anything to even HAVE a lightbulb. How can we discuss lightbulbs so nonchalantly when millions around the world are in the dark? Please pledge 10% of your annual income to the Society for Lightbulbs and Unitarian Teamwork (****) and lets bring ALL our global brothers & sisters into the light.
