Saw this on another forum, cracked me up!

 

[TigerWoman]

Loved it, so true! I bet we all found a place in there! TW

 

[shesulsa]

LMAO! That's good!

 

[Bammx2]

!!!

 

[Simon Curran]

Don't I feel foolish now...

 

[OUMoose]

you forgot the 10-15 people who come in new and say "That's not how I was trained to change that lightbulb"...

 

[BrandiJo]

haha thats great

 

[lonecoyote]

That's funny. For a martial arts forum, 2 more get in a flame war about how changing a light bulb "in the street" is different than changing one in a dojo or kitchen or whatever. 2 more argue about the stance changes one uses during the changing of the light bulb. 1 guy has a light bulb changing instructor with a fake lineage, another guy claims to be an undiscovered light bulb changing master since he was a teenager.

 

[Feisty Mouse]

LOL

lonecoyote - those are a must-have addition for MT.

 

[Gin-Gin]

:lool:
Here's another one to add: 2 more in a flame war about the history of the word "bulb" (where it comes from & who used it first)... :lol:

So true, Maltair--Great post! :supcool:

 

[shesulsa]

3 more to debate about light vs. energy and who has proof that light=energy and energy exists at all.

and

1 administrator to close, lock and bury the thread.

 

[Lisa]

1 more to ask if changing multiple light bulbs is a) even possible b) if you have ever done it and was it on the street or in the dojo, and c) which "art form" is better to use when changing multiple light bulbs and why?

 

[shesulsa]

5 to propose international standards on the procedures of changing a light bulb
5 to argue that it's not the procedures that need standardization but the people who actually do the changing

 

[TonyM.]

That was all so spot on it was scary. Don't forget 6 of us to reminisce about how much better the old one was.

 

[Zepp]

:roflmao: It's so funny and almost a little sad because it's so true!

 

[Feisty Mouse]

LOL! I love it.

(I guess I am part of the masses of commentators.)

 

[The Prof]

It's funny alright. I had a miserable day and needed a good smile. THANKS

Prof
