Changing a light bulb

This is just funny: How many 04-05 F-150 posts does it take to change a tail light bulb?

1 to post it
15 to say they had the same problem
7 to find a tsb on it
20 to argue about the tsb
15 to post pics of a hi-performance bulb to replace the one that burned out.
10 to say awesome pics
5 to say the warranty should cover bulb
5 to agree
5 to disagree
5 more to say the truck should be lemon-lawed
4 to argue back and forth defending themselves
50 to say contact the dealer who you bought the truck and bulb from
5 to say "go to autozone," or equivalent
1 to say the bulb isn't too expensive, just change it
10 to agree
10 to disagree
1 guy to post a pic of his wife getting fed up and changing it herself.
10 folks to say nice pics of wife changing light bulb
1 moderator to chime in and say "let's keep it truck related in here."
And then lastly the original poster then posts a pic of the properly finctioning talilight,

All in all 180 posts. At least

That must of taken some time to put together. Never thought about it that way (number of post). I do like reading them though, it does get funny.

You forgot the 6 to 10 posts on how the new lights would look with 20" rims and a lift kit.

Lets add in 4 FTE users who are electrical engineers who do a study to see if the vehicle's electrical system will handle the load and then 4 other FTE users to see if there is a TSB on a similar study and then 100 FTE useres to argue about the results of the study regardles of what the results are. And 15 moderators to calm down and toss out the 100 arguing folks.


So we've just added another 123 people.

Add in 300 FTE users who read the thread but don't reply and then 19 to drink a few beers whille reading about the results of the light bulb finally being changed.

Don't forget about the people that read it, then go check on something else, and even though nobody else has posted they read it again. That's too funny.

Not dissing or bashing them at all, those studies are most of the time well needed.
