It's more like 20 to propose that we get in an electrician to change
the light-bulb; another 20 to say this is degrading and we should take
responsibility to change our own light-bulbs; and 5 to suggest that if
we spread some peanut butter into the exposed light-fitting this might
make an excellent trap to electrocute cockroaches.
Meanwhile there's one person, who shall remain Anonymous, who
unscrewed the light-bulb in the first place in order to get some
damned sleep.

relevant in 1992.
