Fast turn signal blinker, what the....?

[xavsbud at sprynet.com (David Winchell, II)]

One of your bulbs is incorrect.  The relay uses the resistance from the bulb
to determine if a light is functioning correctly or not.  With the wrong
bulb inserted, the light will still work and blink, but with the wrong bulb
it will blink the same as if one of the bulbs is blown.  Replace with
correct bulbs in both and the problem will be solved.  Check the matching
bulbs on the opposite side to verify which one is incorrect.

HTH,

So the new(to me) '88 has a fast left hand blinker.  I figured "easy 
enough" and check to see
which bulb is not blinking.  The both are blinking, but of course, at twice 
the regular speed.
So I swapped out the relay and no change.  Now I am wondering what could be 
causing this.
I did check out the bulbs even though they light fine, and no corrosion or 
anything, so I am
wondering what is causing this.
