The answer is three....
One to change the bulb, one to hold the ladder, and one to call Templeman and ask him how to do it. |

5 posts from guys offering deals on lightbulbs to forum members only, and today only
4 posts from people who explain that, by turning lightbulbs a certain way you can see imperfections in Ovation guitars and/or more accurately adjust them.

Q: How many sopranos does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Three - one to change the bulb, the other two to kick the stool out from underneath her...
Q: How many basses does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Four - one to change the bulb, the others to sit back and say, "I could have done that."
And for good measure...
Q: Why do orchestras only take a 20 minute break between rehearsal and performance?
A: So they don't have to re-train the drummers... |
