Bloggers and lightbulbs
Published by Yazad Jal August 28th, 2003 in Web World, HumourWe have a new genre of jokes. Blondes are passé. Bloggers are the in-thing. Yaya!
Q: How many bloggers does it take to change a light bulb?A: Two — one to change it while the other apologizes for the recent lack of illumination and explains that they’ve been really busy lately.
From Defective Yeti. The comments section has a few really funny ones. Ted Barlow has an entire blog to showcase this new genre.
Here are some of my favourites from the comments on Defective Yeti’s post.
Q. How many Bloggers does it take to change a light bulb?
A1. Hell, who needs lightbulbs? Just turn the brightness up on the screen…
A2. 238,902. 1 to change the lightbulb, and 238,901 to kiss Ben and Mena’s ass.
A3. None, they just link you to other lightbulb sites.
A4. 837. One to sit in the dark, and 836 to link to her depressing site so it comes up first in Google when you query for lightbulbs.
A5. Two hundred — one to change it, 99 to LOL, and 100 to call him an idiotarian.
A6. Hey..it takes one 12 year old boy and one mom to change a light bulb…the mom nags the kid until she decides to do it herself, and then the kid makes up a Quiz at Quizilla about it so everyone can figure out what kind of lightbulb they would be…if they were a lightbulb.
One to call a Blogger’s meet to decide on the date when the lightbulb will be changed,
20 odd other bloggers who will then decide on a convenient date,
Add another 20 just to create a confusion to decide on the place,
Finally 5 people meet up and decide a date, which will not be suitable for the other 40+,
On the D-day one blogger turns up as the others are realllllyyy busy and changes the bulb. :)
Sequel: He blogs on how wonderful an experience it was changing the lightbulb describing eloquently the contours of the light bulb and the ambience of the room once it was switched ON.
Do not try to change the light bulb. Instead, realize that there is no light bulb.
One blogger with a pathetic sense of humor. He just sits staring at the monitor, reading such posts and comments, LOL-ing, trying to come up with a funnier wisecrack to post on the commenting space, eventually posting one-which might not be funny at all. Then he re-reads it, gets disparaging counter comments, feels disgusted and switches off the comp., realizes he’d been sitting in the dark all along, and changes the bulb.
Hmmm… wonder if my light bulb needs changing. ;) :P
And yeah, LOL-Ashwin!! :P
Hehe. Good one! :)
