"Tandz" sounds good, but it also has a second meaning, which is not so polite

MosJan puts a newsflash on the bulletin board of the HyeForum house, informing that there is a burnt light bulb and needs to be changed. He doesn't change it though.
Sip starts wondering why people bother with light bulbs, when they can enjoy the sunlight during the day, and at night their computer monitor doesn't need the lamp, and its light provides sufficient illumination not to trip over something on the way to the fridge and back. He then demands that HyeForumers provide an explanation for their light bulb fetish.
As Sip suspects, Thoth comes to the scene and chides the HyeForumers for their prejudice against the burnt light bulb. He says the burnt light is just different, and not necessarily worse than the new bulb that the HyeForumers want. Sip scratches his head wondering why he agrees with Thoth.
Domino starts digging through his references on the history of light bulbs, and starts searching for HyeForumers that can appreciate the finer points of light bulb design.
Arpa starts passing out leaflets on the etymology of the light bulb in 37 languages, and makes angry remarks that HyeForum lacks a proper light bulb factory and needs to buy bulbs made by somebody else. He also suggests that HyeForum should stop using whimpy regular lamps, and says "What we really need is a gigawatt power laser cannon. That's the kind of light we need". He starts wondering if the local community school teaches people how to build one.
Hagarag smirks knowingly, pointing out that the only reason the light bulb is burnt is because of HyeForumers' incompetence and non-vegetarian diet, and refuses to change the bulb, asking who would want to see their faces when they eat meat, have reckless sex or indeed sex at all, and clearly show their ages when he doesn't look a day over thirty. He suggests that, as a promising solution to the problem, they must change their diet and religion, and try to upgrade to a cooler ethnicity whose light bulbs never get burnt.
MJ gives an existential account of the relevance of the bulb, and proceeds to say that there aren't any qualified HyeForumers to change the bulb, and that he is not about to do it alone for the rest to have a free ride, especially when the house is full of so many unworthy people.
Boghos agrees, but starts a discussion about MJ's bulb theory.
Rubo gets upset at the whole thing, saying he knew this mess would happen all along. He starts reading "On Changing Light Bulbs - Armenians can't do it" written by Ara Baliozian. He then impatiently jumps from his chair and storms out.
Nairi commends Rubo on his course of action, and starts collecting opinions on forming an organization to change light bulbs, preferably formed by people who never changed a light bulb before.
Gamavor blames the Turks for the burnt bulb, and suggests that HyeForumers should not take his name literally.
Twilight Bark drops by to say hello, says he really has no time to change the bulb, and rushes out the door. He hears something that sounds like "He's not much use is he?", but couldn't be bothered to double check.
A new immigrant from Gyumri sees the sorry shape HyeForumers are in, and finds a wealthy merchant to help them out.
Upon hearing the need for charity, the merchant decides to have a church built at the point of need, with a big plaque at its entrance displaying his generosity and spirituality.
The illegal-immigrant workers building the church take pity on the poor slobs at the HyeForum house next to their site, and change the bulb for them using one of their spare bulbs.

What? You did not know that Old Bill was Armenian? She had, yes she, the courage to abbreviate her name and anglicize it, and volia! Shakespeare!!
With all seriousness aside, as that great American philosopher Steve Allen would say, I would like to offiicially nominate TB for president)of Upper Slobovia?)
This is one of the best posts I have read on this forum. This is is what we need; Creative writing. To not forget not taking ourselves so seriously. Nobody said Armenians cannot have fun.
BRAVO TB!!!
TB must have finally discovered that it is better to turn the "light bulb" on rather than curse the darkness. Except. Where does one get electricity. Does anybody here know how to jump/splice a high tension power line?

Yes, I would rather hire some Mehmets and Alis to do the dirty job, while sitting in my nice Chesterfield armchair smoking Cuban cigar, having Armenian cognac, and watching the idiots that are replacing the bulb. Then I would kindly explain to them that I'm not the owner of the house, and their check would be send in two days (not specifying which days!?).
As to my nick - yes I readily volunteer when some pretty ladies should be entertained.
