I just had the following e-mail exchange with my husband after I went to Target at lunchtime and bought four boxes of Christmas lights for our house:
Me: I went out and got 96 feet of ceramic white lights with the old-fashioned bulbs today. I don't know if it's enough, but it can get us started.
Ben: Thanks, but I think we'll need about six times that amount.
Me: Holy balls! Six times? What are you planning to do?
Ben: Clark, where's my stogie?
Me: *dies laughing, then becomes frightened*
Stay tuned...
My boss's husband went all Clark Griswold last year and kept blowing fuses. They later found out that you're not supposed to string more than three strings of lights together.
