Question: How many Surrealists does it take to plug in a light bulb?
Answer: The fish.
Answer: The fish.
Re: Humor
Really, There are several light fixtures in my house that use the newer florescent light bulbs that plug in rather than screw in.

Probably because all the light bulbs had burnt out by then. Do you believe it was dark in the day time? or just at night?

Wow.
Okay, let's change "plug" to "screw," just to please the literalists.

IC, Applied Ethics is a fine topic, but I could discuss the intricacies of light bulbs all night. Is there a more powerful metaphysical symbol? First there was dark, then there wasn't ....Immanuel Can wrote:Wow.

Okay, another philosophy joke:
A Pantheist walks into a sandwich shop, and says,
"Hey, Mac...make me one with everything."
