Light Bulb man had met Wire Snake one day when he saw Wire Snake trying to convince people that he was a real snake, not just a wire. Wire Snake was hiding in a bush with his head poking out hissing at people. Light Bulb man saw Wire Snake and said “No offence, but you're not a snake, you're just a wire.”
