For some reason this made me think of the thread containing light-bulb
jokes, and some warped wit saying,
"Sure, light bulb jokes are funny, until someone burns a retina..."
Though I laughed my ass off, at the time, have things really begun to
deteriorate so rapidly that I am justified in now wondering if there
will be a "Light Bulb Joke Amendment" to the "Telescopic Lens
Registration"
legislation?
