If you really wanted to pull the joke apart, you could have been even more accurate and pointed out that the light doesn't come on until the door-activated switch is moved past a certain point and so the light would never come on unless the door was opened. Mechanical failures excluded, of course. :lol:

(I shall now hold a short funeral service for one murdered quip. No flowers, please)
