How many land surveyors does it take to change the light bulb?
Change the light bulb, what?
obviously the fixture was installed by a jack leg and we need to install a new fixture at the "true" location I just calculated from the light fixture instructions.
LOL you guys are silly... 😀
Last time I changed a light bulb, the bulb came out but the screwy inside part did not. What a pain in the butt that was!! From now on, Wendell is the bulb changer. 😛
I second that. (What FL GA said)
And, if not, well, may a hickory nut pop me on the noggin!

You forgot the discussion about using a potato to change a broken bulb.
The potato thing is no longer recommended. Seriously, I read an item in a newspaper recently featuring proper and improper ways to get the job done.
Since curves were involved you should have had Keith change the light bulb.
You should use two rods made from welding rod to find the burned out bulb first.
True - Shouldn't recommend it - I use a voltmeter too 😉
Good advice you gave!
I like it john

This post has generated way more interest than I thought it might. I have to confess though that I copied it from another location and changed the name to beer leg.
> Since curves were involved you should have had Keith change the light bulb.
First we must determine if it's a simple curve or a spiral.....
That's disappointing.....maybe another more original thread would be better....
Apologies to Wendell and Angel - Hijack
> Last time I changed a light bulb, the bulb came out but the screwy inside part did not.
Anybody else find this happening more and more often? My experience has been that every third bulb or so comes apart easily when extracting from it's socket.
Is this a case of cheap imported products, shoddy munfacturing techniques or what?
Apologies to Wendell and Angel - Hijack
There are a lot more that last only a little while and then come apart when you go to take them out!!! I just wish it didn't take so many folks to change one!!!
