Q. How many existentialists does it take to change a lightbulb?

A. Two. One to change the bulb. One to observe how the lightbulb itself symbolises a single incandescent beacon of subject reality in a netherworld of endless absurdity reaching towards the ultimate horror of a maudlin cosmos of bleak, hostile, nothingness.

I think Andrews post should be pulled by Kim and Andrew sin binned for 24hours for causing so much merriment and pain due to excessive laughter.

Re: How many Scuttlebutters to change a lightbulb?

I would argue that a lightbulb, as a new fangled invention, is prone to damage if handled roughly and in fact the only sane alternative is without doubt a Davey lamp
