No laughing matter

Many people have turned lighting into a joking matter.  This is a serious mistake.  One of the most notorious lighting misteps is the classic "lightbulb joke".  

So you might ask: What is a lightbulb joke?

According to Wikipedia:

"A lightbulb joke is a joke that asks how many people of a certain group are needed to change, replace, or screw in a light bulb. Generally, the punch line answer highlights a stereotype of the target group. There are numerous versions of the lightbulb joke satirizing a wide range of cultures, beliefs and occupations"


You can plainly see that a joke about lighting can be very hurtful.
