I never really got that joke. .uu The lujvo grouping clearly indicates
that the questioner is referring to a (broken type-of (light type-of
bulb)).  If anyone thinks the question refers to "broken light",
they'd have to be misinterpreting the tanru, right?

Note that the joke works in English: "broken light bulb".  I just
don't think it survives the translation.
