How many Klingons does it take to change a light bulb?

1) Two. One to change the light bulb and one to kill the other and take all the credit.

2) None. There is no honor in changing a light bulb, besides, a true warrior isn't afraid of the dark.
 
1 suggested another that restores those OEM light bulb for a modest fee.
 
you left out one moderator that thinks this **** is serious....wtf????? this is a safety issue!!!!!!!!!!!

And don't forget the 2 guys who want to know if you can use LEDs.
6 members who explain how they did it, 3 of which post pix.
Finally the OP explains that the bulb was good & that the power was shut off because his wife's boyfriend stole the bill money, the minivan & the family dog.

LMAO! That's funny! Reminds me of my over-analytical father. He's a retired aircraft engineer. He has to so over-analyze and re-engineer everything he wouldn't change the bulb at all he'd re design the whole room, the fixture and the way it distributes the light. For the most effecive light output and lowest operating cost while maintaining a high safety level. LOL!!!

You forgot,1 member to tell you the light bulb was fine,it,s the switch thats faulty.LOL:argue:
 
We can't forget about the ancillary threads the next week when one of them can't afford a light bulb and 237 kind and generous members all pitch in to get him one, and the 1012 paypal contributions sent with blessings to the guy whose wife's boyfriend stole the money so he could hire Ace Ventura and get his dog back.
