You know the difference between a lightbulb and a pregnant woman?




You can unscrew the lightbulb.

A good friend of mine has been an RN longer than me. When he worked in the ER in the eighties he would tell me about the objects people had stuck up their asses and couldn't get out. This was 10 years before the "Seinfeld" "Ass-Man" episode. Among those items was a bust of Beethoven, a bottle of shampoo, and a light bulb. He said the same thing Kramer said in "Ass-Man" "Nobody ever admits they stuck something up their ass. It's always an accident!" (Paraphrasing my friend and Kramer.)
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

They don't need un-screwing if they didn't first get screwed....
