And wouldn't some also argue that whether or not the bulb is one of those spiral shaped florescent bulbs, or LED might make a difference?

 

Or also it might depend on whether or not it goes in a ceiling fixture or table lamp? Or if they're right-handed or left-handed guitarists? And seeing as to how it's "dweebbook", wouldn't others go off track and just post pics of their "favorite" light bulbs instead?

That made me chuckle Picker. THanks Jim

How one changes a light bulb is a direct reflection of one's political and religious views, gender orientation, and even something REALLY important, like musical tastes or favorite sports team!!

DIDN'T YOU GUYS KNOW THAT?????

 

[DocPate]

On Facebook it depends on the definition of a light bulb...for example if someone posts they planted a "light" bulb in their garden, the FB definition quickly becomes a new species of flower thus it would take only one person to change it;however if another posts they noticed a lamp on a 40 foot pole was no longer producing light and they called the local Electric utility to change out the "light bulb", the Electric company would dispatch a group of 6 to change it. 1 supervisor, 1 driver, 1 bucket truck operator, 2 electricians and one safety inspector.

And doubtless a reporter or two to duly record the momentous event.

And maybe a professional protester or two.....

Are we talking about a Chinese made light bulb or a USA made light bulb?

[whitefang]

I don't think it matters JuJu. However, I notice a lot of bulbs I buy these days are made in Mexico. So maybe we have to determine whether or not those are changed by those guys who use MIM Strats.

Incandescent or LED. Kind of like tubes vs: ss.
