There is a light and it never goes out

I've been having troubles with the electricity in my bathroom. For a while now, the plugs have been dead. Lately, the light won't turn on unless you jiggle the switch a few times. I finally called the superintendent.

Last night, he came by with his tools and a new lighting fixture. In a few minutes he had replaced the wall plug and then the overhead light. He invited me to test the plug. It worked perfectly. He smiled and pointed up at the new light. I thanked him. He left without his coat. I chased him down the stairs to give it back. He thanked me. He went home.

Pleased with the new fixtures, I went to look again at the plug and the light. I washed my hands and tidied up, sweeping up the dust he had left behind. Leaving the bathroom I flipped the switch off. The light remained on. I flipped the switch on and off. The light shone. I laughed and called the super. He wasn't home. I left a message and waited. The light continued to shine throughout the night.
