What exactly is a fluorescent tube?

Fluorescent tubes are a form of light that has been used in the workplace and similar environments for a very long time. Fluorescent lights are basically airtight tubes full of reactive gases that light up when electricity charges up their atoms, which then become fluorescent. That's part of the reason fluorescent tubes explode when dropped from a 12-foot ladder while trying to install a bulb.

I have been in light bulbs for so many years that I think I am becoming part fluorescent. I swear every time my wife looks in my direction, electricity flows through my body and my atoms charge up. 😍

When I was maybe 12 years old I remember playing basketball at the catholic school parking lot over a weekend with my cousin on the southside of Chicago. Electricians were carrying boxes and boxes of burned-out light bulbs to the dumpster while we were playing. My cousin and I have never run so fast after the workers caught us shooting hoops with fluorescent light bulbs.
