If You Were a Librarian, Would You Be Able to Remain "Professional"?

Question

Weird Questions Librarians Hear …

Before google, there were librarians. Here are some queries posed to the poor, suffering staff of public libraries:

• A woman wanted “inspirational material on grass and lawns.”

• “Who built the English Channel?”

• “Is there a full moon every night in Acapulco?”

• “Music suitable for a doll wedding to take place between a Shirley Temple doll and a teddy bear.”

• “Can the New York Public Library recommend a good forger?”

Answer 1

•  A woman wanted “inspirational material on grass and lawns.”

    Ma'am, we have books on the subject. None of them recommend breathing in grass pollen...many         people are allergic.

• “Who built the English Channel?”  Plate tectonics or God; take your pick.

• “Is there a full moon every night in Acapulco?” Yes, if you go to the right bar.

• “Music suitable for a doll wedding to take place between a Shirley Temple doll and a teddy bear.”

• “Can the New York Public Library recommend a good forger?” No, but we understand Hillary has an excellent computer program, BleachBit, for erasing incriminating data.

Lol - excellent as ever! The one with the "inspiration" is the most hilarious, closely followed by the "right" bar in Acapulco - lol. The tectonic plates and God are memorable and BleachBit - isn't it BleachIt - another lol!

Best note!

Lol, thank you.      I think the program Hillary's lawyers used is BleachBit.

Lol - you're welcome, and thank you for the link; I was indeed playing with "Bit" and "It", or "Sit", "Fit", "Hit", "Kit", "Brit", "Knit", "Lit", "Nit", "Pit", "Quit", "Wit", ... (I'd rather exclude "T..", "Sp..", "Sl..", "S...", etc.).

By the way, Shirley Temple was remarkable - as a child and as an adult.

Clever, as always, Tink.
