In ██████, a large town in ██████ there is a busy flea market. Every weekend, hordes of people flock to this peculiar marketplace, ███████ ████████ ███ ████████. ██████ ███ ███████ ███ ██ █████, ████ █████████ ████████ ██ █████████ █████, peddlers sold broken light bulbs. There were different colors, shapes, types. Each was sold at a modest price, but their shattered filaments and opaque glass gave no hint of their purpose. Why would anyone want to buy broken light bulbs? Those in the know understood that these bulbs were a crucial element of a quotidian struggle over scraps of disposable income by the bottom-of-the-ladder workers. Their true purpose lay in the shadows of the city's vast office complexes. Buyers selected light bulbs that bore the closest resemblance to those used at work. They smuggled them to their workplaces, concealed in their briefcases, purses, and backpacks, like infiltrators on a mission beyond enemy lines. Once there, unseen by others, they secretly replaced functioning light bulbs with broken ones, taking home the good ones to use or resell. ████ ████ ████████ ███ ████ ████ ████ ███ ██ ████ ███████, ████ ████ ████ ████ ██████ ██ ███ ██████ ████, ████ ██████ ██ ████ ██████ ████████ ████ ████████ ███ █████ ██████████.

*First heard in place unknown, date unknown. Retold in Berlin 2022. Brought to bonfire in Orleans 2024.*
A friend told me a story from back in the day when applications for art funding were sent as a file via email. She said that one day, a member from an artist collective ████████ ██ ███ called her in panic: "you must help me, I have lost the file!"
"Hang on, which file are you talking about? What do you mean by 'the' file?"
"The file. The file! You know, the one we always ████ ███ █████████████. The corrupted file. I can't find it anywhere!"
It turned out that every time they applied for funding, the collective ██████ ████ ████ ██████████ ████ █████. ██ ███ ████ ███ █████████ ████████ ███ ████████ ███ ███████████, ███ ██████████ ███ ████ ███ █████████, ████ ███ ██████ a few precious extra days to finish their application. And they were always very successful at getting money.
In fact, the ████ ███ ███ █████ ██ ███, ██ ████ ███ █ ████ ████ ████ extension, which some operating systems back then could not deal with.
