Default This is hilarious!

And so very true! Off of our beloved UPS Bar and Grill.


How many IPA Pilots on this forum does it take to change a lightbulb?



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.

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"

Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid.

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

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

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

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

36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty.

5 People to post pics of their own light bulbs.

7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's.

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too".

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

13 to say "do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs".

1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that George W. isn't the brightest bulb.

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

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

4 to post that it is their constitutional right to change a light bulb.

3 to argue that all light bulbs should be banned

1 moderator to lock the light bulb thread.

...for a small fee Emerald Coast can even provide training on how best to change lightbulb (sic) light bulb.

We also have simulator facilites where you can train to change a light bulb just like you'll really have to change them on the job...

And...if the bulb doesn't work of course we'll provide you with a full refund.

But is Emerald Coast a "Green" company? Do they only use and train to Flourescent bulbs?

And when will you be providing seminars on how to use just 1 sheet of toilet paper?

Sheryl Crow rules!!!

And in the spirit of the board the proper use of sic is as follows:

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", or "just as that". In writing, it is placed within square brackets and usually italicized — [sic] — to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, punctuation, and/or other preceding quoted material has been reproduced verbatim from the quoted original and is not a transcription error.

And Oh by the way... I hope you can see the sarcasm dripping from my post. If not... Please note: Post is dripping with sarcasm. Thank you.

How much does this "light bulb changing gig" pay?

Are there any DP's associated with changing the bulbs?

If you have experience with the company flipping the light on and off, will that help you get an interview for the bulb changing job?
