It only takes two forum members to screw in a lightbulb..... but Heaven knows how they'd both manage to get in there at the same time!

Manny,

Even when this was posted on the 'other' forum, I didn't get it. They tried to explain, but, I'm still pretty clueless.

You're not alone.

BTW- Do you want me to call you Mr. Manny or just Manny? It's been bugging me, since I've been raised to call adults 'mr.' and 'ms.' and 'mrs.' (when appropriate) when I'm talking to them. Some people will say it's okay to call them by their first name, some get annoyed.

Manny,

OMG. Are you serious that you don't get it? I can see why Silverstar doesn't - she's young & virginal (in thought & ....).

Let's just say you imagine a man & a woman, together, in a VERY LARGE light bulb. Now apply the question of "how many does it take to screw in a light bulb".
