You're a geek if your pinky is longer than your pecker.

Re #25: It doesn't, but most strings don't have bulbs in parallel, they have them in series. If you're troubleshooting a string that has two series strings wired in parallel, like most 100-bulb strings, you'll need to open the string you're not troubleshooting by removing a bulb so it doesn't affect your results.

Why? The parallel set won't change the effect of a burned out bulb in the set you are testing with the ohm-meter: a burned out bulb there will still cause one side to be "open".

Yeah, you're right, And in fact I've done it that way. I got my head twisted around it wrong yesterday when I was trying to think about it.
