Oh, i forgot to mention this one. Also from the same proud mother. I was talking about how I was interested in doing some volunteering in Africa. PM: You don't want to do that! Me: Um, why not? PM: Well there are an awful lot of black people there! (I laughed. I couldn't help it.)

For me, it would have to be a sarcastic comment made about how rude it was for me to pretend to be "playing" in a wheelchair. (which was directed at me in a hospital lobby) because I was seen laughing. Oh how I wish that was all I did. Not much fun to be in one for life. Joke was on them. However, I guess I showed them how you can have a life and still laugh and have fun even tho you use a wheelchair. Rocco will understand I told Uncle Scotty abut this and he thought it was too funny. He said he would have run her over.

Getting off the elevator were two people talking, one asked the other:
"So are you taking any medication for that?"

Every other question today was tax related...at the library...
There are signs everywhere pointing them to where forms are located...
Every other person walked past the signs and asked...
Finally, someone said "does anyone read in the library?"...um that would be NO.

I am making a power point demonstration of a tour of the library... As I am walking through the library and taking photos... One patron begs me not to take his picture because "I would take his soul"...another patron tells him..."you must have a soul in order for her to steal it"... I think it is going to be yet another odd day here... hmmm

This wasn't overheard but it is on the info papers I got when discharged from the spinal unit...just got around to reading them today: "You can resume sexual relations as long as you are comfortable, but remain in your brace". WTF? Do people honestly have sex right after spinal surgery while wearing these farking contraptions? I would be ROFLAO (if I wasn't currently immobilized in my brace) I guess some people bounce back pretty quick, but still.... (kitten raises a mental eyebrow)

From a call last night with a rather dim-witted college student... "You mean the router has to be plugged into the modem? I thought it was wireless..."

Or the TL who kept walking around during the worst meltdown we've had since I started there saying, "Come to Butthead." Not all the people I work with are completely sane...

Me: "If you don't instal your new updates your laptop will run slower."
My sister: "I dont want to install the new updates on my laptop. I might confuse it. Maybe it just needs a rest."
Me: "Ahahahahahahahaah!!!"

Try to explain to a 65 year old man how he can watch whatever he wants on my tv even though the DVR is recording. He still won't he is too worried my program won't be recorded.

It was a couple of days ago...but a gentleman (using the term loosely) approached the Reference Desk and asked me if he could "use a computer"...I explained that you need to have a library card to gain access to the Internet and he informed me that the "Internet was evil and he would go back to reading his Bible"... things that make you go hmmm at a public library.

me: why? him: that's like me going to a strip club!
