7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

Here in the once great state of Kalifornia, you can't just change a light bulb. :eek:

First, you have to notify the State Department of Light Bulb Inspectors. Fill out the proper paperwork and pay the fee and they will come and inspect your light bulb to make sure it is in fact, burnt out.

Of course it is illegal to replace a good light bulb just because you want a brighter light bulb. The Kalifornia energy czar has to approve it. It has to be inspected to be sure it is a energy saving light bulb.:ugg:

Then you have to contact the LRU, 'Luminus Ridiculous Union'. They will send out a licensed, Union member to do the necessary labor involved in changing your light bulb. NEVER, try to do this yourself. The fines are very high. :scream:

Proper disposal of the old light bulb is critical. I made the mistake once of just throwing the old light bulb in the trash. Unfortunatly, the old light bulb broke and spread white powder in my trash can.

Well, when the trash collecter saw the broken light bulb, he called the authorties. They sent a Haz-mat team out, the DEA and Home Land Security and cordened off the area around the light bulb until the white powder could be identified. After many expensive tests and proceedures they determined it a improper disposal. I will let you know more about it after my court appearence next month. :ugg:

We are up to about $ 9,000.00 now in fees, fines and donations and we still don't have our stinkin' light bulb changed. ;)
