During WWII my dad collected burnt out bulbs to use during blackouts.

Shhhhhhh...............that's what I tell my family I do!

Your problem starts when your family believe you are turning a profit! :D



(Of course only the Mafia run profitable light bulb rebuilding businesses.)

Yeah I missed this the first time around too, otherwise I would have asked where the invasion stripes on the rebuilt bulb were.

How many wixers would it take? Trick question, it can't be done! There would be endless arguments about if it were the correct period bulb, whether the threads were left or right handed, what wavelength bulb to use, if the bulb was to actually be used or left in the off position, if insurance would actually cover getting a ladder out to reach the socket, if there were perhaps government grants that could cover the operation, whether stickers would need to be applied to said bulb.......it...........just.............can't be done! :wink:
