Goll!!!1 Mod to warn random poster about one line answers
PS: fumanchu's was a one-liner.
PPS: English calls for conciseness, thus "one line answers" is incorrect and should be replaced by "one-liners"

It's not just about Chinese lightbulbs; it's about the PAF which are now entering service and are better than the Indian ones by the way. And did you hear that the Indian lightbulbs are over budget and have reliability problems. The new PAF lightbulb is also lower-observable which makes it harder to see especially in the dark which I promise you isn't a reverse logic.

I want Asia on my front porch and America as my backyard.
Disclaimer: By America, I meant the Continent. And yes, I know Asian homes have neither a backyard nor a porch in the American sense.

These two are the most classic IMO

This was originaly posted on the Bungie.net forum, because I was in a third forum when I first heard of this one, and I beleve it was credited to Bungie.net.
Am I right?

Hahahaha
1. Has no-one noticed the (presumably automatically generated) adverts that appear at the top of this one ???
...which makes me wonder how to start a thread that will generate even stranger adverts.....there's a challenge for someone.
2. This reminds me of a similar told by British government press officers (which may, or may not, reveal part of my dubious past).
Question from journalist
How many government press officers does it take to change a light bulb ?
Answer
We will get back to you on that...

Ah hell, here I go...
SinoDefense Forum HMFMDITTCALB: Part 3
One Member to screw in the lightbulb.
One member to post in a quote a story as to how Country A is installing 13'000 lightbulbs in a secret missile silo bordering Country B.
One Member to announce to everyone his protest against the instalation of Lightbulbs in this facility bordering country B.
Two members to retaliate, insisting that Country A's Lightbulbs are an important part of their national security and insisting that Country B has no real reason in protesting.
Three members to retaliate in turn, insisting that Country A has no right to those 13,000 lightbulbs in the first place, and that if they screw them in, it would be tanamount to an act of war.
Country A Suppourters mention how badly Country A got whooped in War A thirty years ago by Country B.
Country B suppourters retaliate by saying how much Country A got whooped in War B by country A in War B sixty years ago.
One other person to bring up something on Google Earth showing where the lightbulbs are installed.
Country B suppourters use this as 'proof' of the hostile nature of the Lightbulbs and, despite clearly not being able to do anything about it, say how Country B should declare war on Country A.
Country A suppourters will then declare war on Country B and say that they could not produce lightbulbs to save their lives.
Country B Suppourters will then prove to them the superiority of their lightbulb technology and post pictures that take up half of the page.
Country A suppourters will then do one better, and show a link to a video of their counties lightbulb programe.
Admin then shows up and tells them to shut up or he will close the topic.
Country A and B suppourters continue their lightbulb rant.
One person to report the sad news that the lightbulbs have all gone out.
Country A suppourters go off and mourn.
Country B suppourters continue rant.
Country B suppourters are all warned by Moderator A.
One more person to say how Japan's Super-Mecha F-15 program would beat them all.
Admin closes the topic and threatens to ban anyone who brings it up again.
Three Months on, Country C suppourters show off lightbulb technology to Country D suppourters, and a loud scream is heard from the general direction of the Admins residence.
Wow...That was long...x_x;
