Here's an idea for the furture. *Beginning on January 1, 2012, the
stores wont be able to sell 100w incandescent light bulbs. *But what
about kits to make your own. *It dont say anything in the new
regulations about "kits", just the finished ready to use bulbs will be
banned.


The kits will come in two levels.


The first level will include the blown glass bulb complete with the
filament enclosed. *You will just have to solder and glue the threaded
base to the bulb.


The second level will require the purchaser to construct the entire
bulb from raw materials.


This will not only be educational, but will furnish the average guy
something to do on their weekends to avoid boredom while watching
sports on tv. *This will also save the average guy a fair amount of
money. *Rather than spending money of things such as traveling, going
to bars, wilderness adventures, going to movies, sporting events,
dining, and and other things people waste their money doing on
weekends, they will instead spend all their free time making
lightbulbs for their homes. *This is a project the whole family will
enjoy doing at the dining room table, using candles to see in the dark
evening hours during the winter holidays.


Isn't America great!


I prefer my idea. *I've already stockpiled 400 american made 100 w GE
bulbs. *I'm good to go.
