Turning on the light what does it look like I am doing?
But Martha, you forgot to pull down the shades.
Oh my, I did forget, turn off the light, turn off the light!
Martha, don’t you know what they do to people who use banned light bulbs¦it’s lights out.

But Herman we have a dozen of those incandescent 100 watt bulbs left, what am I supposed to do just throw them away and use one of those twisty things? :sneaky:
You know the rules, it not our choice what light bulb to use, the government says what kind of bulb we must use. Don’t you remember that law went into effect way back on 2012?
Oh yes, now I remember. When does the law banning fireplaces go into effect?
Think positive Martha, we are helping to save the Polar Bear.

I'd rather give up the ice maker! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Note: Beginning 2012 the 100 watt incandescent bulb will be phased out and you will only be able to buy energy efficient bulbs and in 2014 the same rule applies to lower watt bulbs as well. It is a good thing, perhaps but it doesn’t matter, the federal government made a law and you will comply...and somebody will make a great deal of money replacing all your light bulbs.
