or he could quickly twisted it off or he could just punch and brake it
yeah you should have said that he couldn't touch the bulb itself or something
That was good! It tricked me for a minute but I figured it out before I read the answer. But it was still good!
That was lame
That magician is a cheat. Bring on the tomatoes!
I agree with Poker. Where are the Rotten tomato's when you need them?
but you would think he was pretty dumb if he didn't use the lightswitch....put the tomatoes away
no no, he likes tomatoes
Cute. Easy, but cute.
An inadaquate answer. You imply that it would prevent it from shining indefinitely. To do this, you would have to break it.
He need to use his legs to walk to the switch right?
i totally agree with I am The Omega, cuz i thought when i read it that he was gonna stop it from shining for forever, so i answered break it
nice one!! i was thinking that but then i thought it was wrong but i like the easty ones
*thumbs up*
*thumbs up*
uhmmmm interesting.... NOT!!!!
Before you so rudely tear down an eleven year old's teaser, perhaps you should write a few of your own?
This was a cute teaser i thought that the answer as well was completely inadaquate beacause there was a mention in it that the bulb would stop shining.

I just said "Unscrew the Lightbulb"
That was like super easy, but really funny! I got it!
I'm only twelve too, and I can't write any teasers. Yours is good!
He could either flip the switch or turn the light bulb just enough to turn it off. Easy but fun and enjoyable. Good job.
When did I say I was so great, I like to write teasers and I write my own.
And plus, don't be an idiot when you don't even have a teaser!
ITs a towel you idiot, and just to let you know, I had a teaser within my first month, you just can't write them. So stop being stupid
NO ITS A DRIER U IDIOT.
libra, I wouldnt tell that to trot.
You see, he has been here longer than you, he has more experience.
You on the otherhand have no teasers submitted/accepted.
now ask yourself this: whose teasers are better?
well, using the principles of common sense, TROT's are better because he has 12, you have 0 and
12 > 0

Wow you're stuck up... you can't win when everyones against you
Correct me if I'm wrong but, is this not a site for reading, rating and submitting teasers? The last time I checked it was not a place for an immature 14 year old to vent out her frustrations! Please try to stick to the teaser contents in your comments. The entire site does not want (nor does it need) to be harassed by the constant put downs and whinings of a certain very rude child. If this site does not live up to your expectations, maybe you should visit another.
Remember - we are here to enjoy the teasers!!!

ok im sorry, really.
She is, and her apology is accepted, she sent me a pm apoligizing.

Nice job I got it right away and you peeps should just get along lol you dont even know eachother in real life we're just here to read teasers! You guys are hilarious!!
He could have put his hand over it.
Not really, it would still shine, hed just block the light
Not to downplay the fact that the teaser actually made it through, which isn't as easy as flipping a light switch. I've seen this somwhere before.
i also said unscrew it too
great! that was quite funny! AND i actually got the right answer!! Thanks for making me feel smart TROT! that is a good reason for being easy.
I liked it, and I liked to read the comment drama as well. Keep it up, your teasers are great.
The teaser made me laugh a gottcha. Good job ruler.
Tin, I didn't get much out of the chatter not really a good read for me. I'd have prefer reading Good JOB Ruler.

I guess that makes us all magicians!
Nice and easy teaser!
Nice and easy teaser!
I thought he would have just broke it.
You got me! I thought he covered it up. I can't believe I didn't get that.
He turned on the light, and then, after 3 weeks of anticipation, the light bulb burned out, and he said....
TA DA!!!
TA DA!!!
