Lol, yeah the coupon additions are perfect.
I found that list at another site, apparently it's been around for a while but I haven't seen it before. Made my morning too.

Thanks, Dave...I've already emailed it along...Up way too early, hubby's golfing, he makes our morning coffee but I've yet to have a cup...., just wandered on here, Jenny's collapsed on her pillow in the living-room, and here I am...keeping you company at this unholy hour of the morning!
But that's it, Dave. I'm off to get a coffee and click on the tv for today's news.
Have a wonderful day, Sweetie-pie!! (should the "p" be capitalized?

Question: How many Forum members Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb?
Answer: Depends on the price of the light bulb. Depends if there's a coupon. Depends if we need to start a coupon train to buy the light bulb for nothing, before we even think about how many people get to change it.

Very funny!!!

[Darth Penguin]

Don't forget..."the haters are going to hate" and the cashiers who won't SCOP...

[Travelnut]

Way too funny! Thank-you so much Dave

[Silk]

Thanks for the chuckle

[Granger]

Thanks for the post Dave!

We also don't want to leave out the 10 people who wish to remind the OP that the light bulb expired two days ago and probably should have been changed before then even if it hadn't yet burned out.

And the 1 poster who can resist a bad pun...thanks for brightening my day.
