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",

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