Operation Lightbulb Exchange

How many stereotype-defying, delusional 23-year-old Austinites living in Neukirchen-Vluyn does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

hmm...

ONE! And she doesn't need a man to help her, either. (Sorry, Kenny - you know I love you.)

Doing the dishes, however, is another story...

hi Mary,

what does the word lightbulb mean? In my dictionary the word bulb means: Zwiebel. So lightbulb is: "leichte Zwiebel" . That does not make sense!! I think I am wrong in that translation.
have a nice day....

Hi Helmut,
A 'lightbulb' is a 'Gluehlampe.' And the English word 'light' can mean 'leicht' or 'hell' or 'Licht.'

It's always dangerous to translate directly. I speak from experience. :)

Helmut, if "leichte Zwiebel" is the best you can come up with for "lightbulb", I'd suggest you get some major help in the area of translation.

You know where to find me.

It was pretty funny, though.
