Porsche.

Oh dear! I can only claim Fibro Fog as my excuse! But Lynn, I just now
"got it!" What did I get? Well, your ng name (Lightlady, Lampy, etc.) and
why you know all the best light bulb jokes.

I know what you did in your "olden days" (sorry!) and that you've probably
changed more light bulbs than any of us on the ng.

Duh! I'm a dummy.

Fibro Fog at work again! Lori -- I don't "get it!" But then, I don't get a
lot of jokes, When I worked, everybody teased me about it and had to
explain the dirty jokes to me.
