I thought you had a clapper.
Yeah I thought it could be a clapper, too!
very boring
You may well unplug the cord! :-D
Aren't light switches by the doorway, unless your bed is right by the door... I don't know it just sounds funny
Booring!
I also thought you had a clapper
I'am sorry I disipointed you guys.
-Feels bad-
Well usualy the light switch is besides the door. very rarely is it besides the bed. clever though
If you are staying in hotel, the light switches are usually by the beds.
Hehe i would be embarassed to put that on this site!!!! ANd most people dont have a switch for a lamp!!!
I see no problem with it. I liked it. Short and sweet and made sense.
You can also move the bed to the lamp and turn off the lamp while staying in bed or you can yank the power cord.

or clap if you have the clapper.
get get a long stick and poke wildly until you reach the lamp
and for the ppl complaining about the lightswitch being near the door - my parents have lightswitches for their overhead lights next to their beds (my dad's an electrician and thought ahead), and the question doesn't say "how do you turn the lamp out" it says "how do you turn the light out", the lamp mightn't even be on
