Not a Shining Lightbulb Moment
Back in the early days, an electric company in Detroit would hand out free lightbulbs in exchange for burned-out ones. That was mighty kind of them, considering now, they’re heartless corporations that’ll shut your energy off if you even look at their technician the wrong way. However, the free-lightbulbs-for-all policy was put to an abrupt halt after a pharmacy sued the energy company.
We’re not sure what to make of this. On the one hand, free lightbulbs for all! On the other hand, a company couldn’t sell its lightbulbs. Perhaps the pharmacy shouldn’t have tried to sell lightbulbs when, you know, someone was giving them away for free!
