"How Many Lawyers Does it Take to Change a LightBulb?

Whereas the party of the first part, also known as "Lawyer", and the party of the second part, also known as "Light Bulb", do hereby and forthwith agree to a transaction wherein the party of the second part (Light Bulb) shall be removed from the current position as a result of failure to perform previously agreed upon duties, i.e., the lighting, elucidation, and otherwise illumination of the area ranging from the front (north) door, through the entryway, terminating at an area just inside the primary living area, demarcated by the beginning of the carpet, any spillover illumination being at the option of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) and not required by the aforementioned agreement between the parties. "

Business Advice

The creator of the first working light bulb was Joseph Wilson Swan. Swan's house was the first place in the world to be lit by a light bulb (and hydroelectric power). He patented the light bulb in England. 
Thomas Alva Edison improved Swan's light bulb by using a better incandescent material and a higher vacuum and patented it in the US. 

Rather than fighting for the ownership of the patent, Swan and Edison formed the Edison & Swan United Electric Light Company.  What this should tell you is simple:


When forming a business regarding a new technology, make sure that you get your name listed first (i.e. Edison & Swan Electric Light Company)... Who the heck is Swan? Who Cares?

A little current events for a Saturday

Israel’s cabinet has approved recommendations for preventing the further erosion of coastline cliffs.

The Israel National Roads Company  is preparing to publish tenders for the supply, installation and maintenance of wind turbines to generate electricity for highway lighting.

According to the Globes business daily, the CFO of Israel National Roads Co., Shay Yiftach, explained at a conference this week that small wind turbines could be installed on lighting poles on the coastal highway running along Israel’s Mediterranean coastline to exploit the sea winds.


The CEO of this government corporation, Alex Viznitzer, added: “We are initiating steps to integrate systems for producing renewable energy into the infrastructure of highways. Thousands of acres of available land at interchanges can be exploited for placing photovoltaic solar arrays. Many thousands of street lights can use wind turbines.”

On a different note however....

Q: How many congregants does it take to change a light bulb in a synagogue?

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.

Dangers of Lighting

 "All fueled lanterns are somewhat hazardous due to the danger of handling flammable and toxic fuel, danger of fire or burns from the high temperatures involved, and potential dangers from carbon monoxide poisoning if used in an enclosed environment."


If you don't think that you can handle a fueled lantern, you are not on your own.  Most people would likely prefer a light that they can simply turn on and off.  If thats you, then have no fear!  Alightingstore.com is here!!!
