This one time I was changing a light bulb, and the freakin bulb CAME OUT of the light bulb base thing. You know, the one the screws into the socket.

It just came out in two pieces, not one piece but TWO. I have the bulb in my hand the base is still in the socket. Junk cheap 5 cent chinese garbage. Back in my day, we had real american lightbulbs that wouldnt break that easily. You could throw them on the ground, step on them, run them over with a tank and drop them from a bomber at 25,000 feet. You know what? It wouldnt break, not once. Good ol' american knowhow.

Now look at them, touch them, or breathe on them and they break. I tell you what, them googily eyed peoples are destroying this country. If FDR was here, he would set this country straight. Yessire.........
