If General Electric sells its lighting division, it will ruin a time honored childhood tradition. You might remember the trick from your youth. You'd ask the unsuspecting to clasp their hands above their heads, forming a circle with their arms. Then you'd ask them to attempt to spell the word image and say lightbulb afterwards.
The result was someone whose arms formed a lightbulb shape above their head saying, "I M A G E Lightbulb." Of course, this sounds exactly like "I am a G.E. lightbulb."
In short, GE's about to take a little bit of laughter away from children across America.

Carney. You've finally lost your mind.
