Lights lights lights ha ha ho ho he he

[Comrad]

Boy would I love to meet the person who came up with the little tiny lights on the pre-lit trees. You know the strand with 1,003 bulbs and the last one you test is the bad one. And as soon as you get that strand working another one goes out in sympathy.
And, and to make the season even brighter my tester from last year has corroded batteries so I'm now going over the river and through the woods to my local aircraft carrier size hardware store to buy another tester which should just be thrown out as soon as I am done because like the Mission Impossible tape will self destruct 10 seconds after I am done with it.

Ho Ho Ho

I have a neighbor down the street a ways that just put over 100 of those bulbs in 2 of those animated deer that are lit up. He was about to pull his hair out before he got through with that task. I just love the manufacturers that tell you if one light goes out the others in the string will still burn. Ha, ha on that.

I think that those lights were one of Sip's inventions that he devised shortly before he invented his express elevator SOP.

I tested all the light strings and all were good to go. The wife spent an hour stringing up a tree, plugged it in and ..............nothing! Fuse was blown, replaced fuse, plugged it in and ...................nothing!! Are we having fun now??


HO, HO, HO!!

Gentlemen, I have found THE way to avoid the frustration of the Christmas light failure debacle. It is completely fool proof and works every year.

DON'T PUT THE BLASTED THINGS UP.

Works for me.
